Drove it into Waco to get a tank of gas, about 15 miles each way. Up and down hills back-roads, stop lights etc. from 25 to 65 MPH.
Came home and used a laser temp meter and found these temps on the engine. I dont know if thats good or bad?
Top of radiator - 120 degrees
Top of Thermostat Housing - 191
Under the Thermo housing - 171
Head between first 2 exhaust ports driver side - 192
Front of head - 191
Block - 191
Temp Gauge reading (Lectric Limited sender for year model gauges):
So what do you think?
