Hello,
I need some help, I finally fixed all my vacuum leaks, the car idles fine, have a Hot Spark installed, and timing seems to be OK. Today I drove the car a bit and after a while the temp gauge indicated that the car is running hot, the needle moved over the P of TEMP before I decided to stop and take a break. After 30 minutes I started the car again and drive immediately home, needle again indicated that the car is running to hot. Before I fixed all vaccum leaks the car was running like ... but the temp stayed consistent in the middle, so I assume the gauge is fine. What to check, the knob on the ECU is already all the way to rich. - Juergen |

What happens to engine when temp is 250? If oil pressure is good why does 250 matter? Race cars run hotter. Porsche race car mechanic told me 250 is OK.

Some of the stuff in motor oil will break down at 250F. Synthetic oils are less prone to it, but if you run them at 250F for a long time they still won't be happy. --DD |
