What should be done if an engine continuously runs hot according to Technician B?

Increasing engine oil pressure is not an appropriate solution for an engine that is continuously running hot. Engine overheating is primarily related to the cooling system and its ability to effectively dissipate heat generated by the engine. Overheating can result from issues such as insufficient coolant flow, a malfunctioning thermostat, or cooling system blockages.

Correctly addressing the overheating issue involves understanding the components that directly affect engine temperature regulation. Options like installing a cooler thermostat, replacing the water pump, or flushing the cooling system are all related to managing coolant flow and temperature control. For instance, a cooler thermostat opens at a lower temperature, allowing coolant to circulate and maintain a lower engine temperature. Replacing the water pump ensures that coolant is being properly circulated through the engine and radiator. Flushing the cooling system can remove blockages or contaminants that might be obstructing coolant flow.

Therefore, resolving an overheating problem starts with these cooling system components rather than focusing on increasing oil pressure, which is not a direct factor in engine temperature management.
