Unable to access my machine with rave on , search failed.....so , anyone , I know the stat opens at 82deg but what is the proper running temp of a 3.5i ?
 
the cooler the better aslong as 70c or above..but they tend to run on the hot side..which for an alloy lump aint good, ESPICALLY the oversized lumps.ie 3.9+
 
Evil ,thanks mate....sill got your disco ES ? I wiped mine out last year....fourth one Ive rolled....so far.........

Zen , thanks , Ive found that they run cool on the whole but agree that over 70 is needed to prevent emulsification in the oil filler cap that promotes head gasket panic syndrome

Yeah I do but it's being replaced by the 7.03L Cadillac V8 engined series I'm building :) that'll run about the same temp but its an iron block so better!


Disco's don't seem to like you :eek:
