Many pucker moments on that road. I do not recommend 2 up!
Very tight turns at the wrong angle right and left, loose gravel, rocks , and sand.
Quite the workout. My arm are shot!

Great video footage Skiri. Glad you had your camera!

Brent on the left, My daughter's boyfriend Alex on the right.
Waiting for Erny to arrive.

Campground for the night in Big Sur. Erny facing the camera.

Real nice people. $100 for the night.

A stop along the road getting our bearings, and getting the darn Sena's to cooperate. 3 would group up but not the 4th. Finally got it after 30 minutes or so dinking around with it.

Pulled off Naciamento road to find food. We were starving by this time and finally had cell signal!
Fort Hunter Liggit is behind us.

Left to right...Skiri, Brent, Erny, Alex.

I should have gotten more pictures. Next time.

Thanks Joe. LOL
Editing/uploading onboard video I took with my Chinese dash cam.

I had a radiator fan coming on at the I-5 hill climb on the way back following Erny.
The temp gauge went a bit higher than the notch but not past half way...
Again is this normal?

I smelled the coolant burning and kinda panicked.
It turned out to be an old pickup truck spewing it. Phew..

Air temp was about 90 but still we were moving at 65-70 mph. There should have been enough air flow. Mine was below the gauge center line. Might want to add the air panels to sides of the radiator that direct air into the radiator. Makes a big difference.

Mine was below the center line too.
Just a bit above that notch where the fan comes on.
Did your fan come on there?

My temp gauge went from 4 bars to 5 in that pass.

Checked the engine temp with a temp gun and have this profile:

1 Bar: 41.6 deg C (106.9 deg F)
2 Bar: 46.8 deg C (116.2 deg F)
3 Bar: 55.3 deg C (131.4 deg F)
4 Bar: 68.1 deg C (154.6 deg F)
5 Bar: 90.5 deg C (194.9 deg F)
6 Bar: 98.1 deg C (208.6 deg F)

Fan on at 103.3 deg C (217.9 deg F) - still in the six bar on the temp gauge
Fan off at 92.7 deg C (198.6 deg F) - still in the six bar on the temp gauge

Have a fan on indicator light, and a bypass switch as well.
