Engine temp

[Calypso]

Just out of curiosity, what temp does everyones' engine usually run at? I'm just curious as mine seems to get pretty hot (from the feel of it) but as far as I know, it's running the same temps (according to my temp guage) as it was when I first bought it....

Just curious :wave:

if it feels hot, invest 20 for one of them nifty infrared thermometers at vato zone and lase it. coolant temps should be right around 190, give or take.

x2... I did this with mine so I know where my 190 is at... its on the A of normal on mine... but it varies with each car.... if you think its a little on the warm side, it probally is.

If you get one of those thermometers, laz the spot where the thermostat sits at... you can watch it creep up to 190, then fall back down when it opens..

If you have a water pump underdrive pulley, it runs a bit hotter in around town driving; I noticed that too. Redline water wetter helps to reduce temps a little.

This year at the convention my car never got over 210.
I'm sure it helps that I have the police grill, and no A/C components.
