Hello Folks,
One more question. I had to have some head work done on my car last week, as I had overheated it and fried two valve guides. (I was on the way to the shop to have my cooling system modified.) It is fine now, and the temperature is staying down with my upgrades (bypass filled and drilled to 1/4", upgraded water pump, and 160º thermostat).
I have a Celsius temp guage. Like all good Americans, I HATE Celsius. As you know, the lines on the Farenheit guage at 185 and 230 (line in between is 210) equate to the 85 and 110 on the celsius guage (line in between is 98). Since Ed did head work, he used a probe to see what the temperature ACTUALLY was, compared to the guage. The guage read 85, which is 185 Farenheit, and the probe showed 150º!!!! So, I was actually running 35 DEGREES COOLER than I thought I was.
Here is my question to you. Can I assume that if the guage is 35 degrees too hot at 85 degrees that it will be 35 degrees too hot the entire range of the guaage? If this is a valid assumption, I can put some label tape on my dashboard that says "150 - 175 - 195." What do you think?
Muchas gracias.
