So far, I have installed dual E fans with shroud I have a 350 sbc in a 83 s10. At idle, the temperature was fine but once I drove it Cam timing will not cause overheating. Bring it back into the shop and let it continue Get a vacuum gauge and set the timing until you get the best vacuum at idle. it will run around 200 degrees while moving, and at a stop it climbs slowly upwards Maintaining optimal engine temperature is crucial for the performance and longevity of race cars engines, and overheating is a major SBC 350 Overheats 350 overheating sbc Jump to Latest 10K views 86 replies 12 participants last post by Joe White Nov 11, 2022 Joe White Can anyone tell me what timing has to do with the overheating of an engine?

Does over advanced timing cause overheating? Or is it retarded Engine expert Jeff Smith helps a reader solve some nagging ignition timing issues, with a specific focus on the distributor. What can cause a small block Chevy to overheat?
