I was out driveling today and I
noticed that the temp gauge went almost to the H as in hot....(I just recored
the heater core and flushed the system)
I had a 64 New Yorker a long time
ago that on the gauge always ran near the H but it ran fine and this was
after I recored the heater core and radiator, was told by a shop all looked good
and it must have been a bad sender or gauge but can't recall what the
normal temp was or is supposed to be?....Today as I got home I popped the hood
and grabbed my new handy dandy heat thermometer deal and on the
radiator it read 190.1 on both sides and on the intake manifold it
read 201 and 204 on the water pump near the heater hose outlet, and 146 on the
valve covers is that OK?
It has a 180 thermostat and
a 14# cap and did not boil over but was very near the H...So what is the normal
range on the radiator and on the intake or engine block??
as always
thanks...
