"Normal" engine operating temperature.
Hey gang. Up here in North East Ohio we are starting to get some breaks in the weather entering Spring time. Yesterday the day was beautiful with temps into the upper 60's. I had my midget out on the highway for a good 30 minute drive and noticed the temperature gauge running just a little past the middle temperature range. One of my concerns with my Midget is the cooiling system as I have no leaks or anything but that radiator sure looks old. I recall guys putting on oil coolers and things like that because its my understanding these cars can run on the hot side. Is this true? Just looking ahead I am guessing when we get to the summer months around 80 degree days my car will probably get up close to that 3/4 zone on the gauge which in past cars gets me a little concerned. I have no clue what temp range the thermostat is yet I could start there with the lowest temp range that is offered.
