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

So I've had my car running now for about a year. I used an infrared temp sensor to 'shoot' several points of interest on my car to check cooling ability. I have installed the flaps on the underside of the car and did notice a drop on temps, as it helps evacuate the heat under the car.
Concern? or Acceptable? I did a drive the other day when it was 90 degrees here in Seattle. After street driving, I immediately used the temp sensor to check engine oil temp at the filter (186) and concerning was the transmission housing at 200 degrees. Is this radiant heat from the exhaust warming the housing or is there something else going on? IAMCHAPPY is seeing 150 street driving. Why am I hitting 200? Thoughts? |
