[QUOTE="cisco, post: 1368976, member: 15976"] My buddy has a boat with a buick V-6 When the engine sees a load, the motor will seize and stall somewhere between 180-190 degrees water temp. It then cools down and runs again. It has a 160 deg thermostat. I jacked around with the thermostat to make sure the cooling system is working. I runs cold with no thermostat, runs 130 with thermostat stuck open. I'm thinking the engine was rebuilt with tight rings or something. What do ya'll think? Any fixes? Run it with the thermostat open because cool is better than stick? Will the rings or whatever is tight eventually wear down or eat itself? [/QUOTE]
