Does anyone know the optimum operating temperature range of the 901, and/or the the temp. at which accelerated wear becomes an issue?

Thanks Guys,
I'm always amazed with the amount of knowledge residing in this thing of ours ( (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) couldn't resist the movie reference ). The reason I inquired is I'm running a 4.3 V-6 and its' exhaust runs closer to the case and generates considerably more heat than stock. You're replies lead me to think that although it might be a nice safeguard, it probably isn't a necessity (after all I've run it as-is for several years now), at least until I have more opportunities to really run it hard.

Radiated heat is another matter, but I'll stand by my original statement that nothing in there is gonna melt, and as long as the lubrication is up to the heat - however it gets there - you'll be OK. If you have that kind of heat that close to the case, tho, you want to be especially mindfull of proper lubrication of the inboard CV's. Swepco 101 or LubroMoly 39. Cheap stuff will turn to clay. For radiated heat, I think it'd be lighter, simpler, and cheaper to have your headers coated by someone like JetHot. If you still have issues after that, go for the pump, cooler, and plumbing approach. |
