thanks todd.
@greg, as most users have mentioned, 225 is just too hot, i am aiming for under 200 at any given time (whether in traffic or whether driving).
I am using my autometer gauge to monitor my temperature.
I havent used an infrared gun to test inlet and outlet temps, I can and will after I put the water pump back on. At that time i will compare the gauge to gun.
The gauge is near the thermostat, in the front of the engine on the manifold.
Stay im at 220-225 while sitting for a few minutes, when i start driving it will start going down eventually to around 210-220, will not go below 200 what so ever.
At cruising speed, gauge reads around 200-215. I am at 180 for only about 5 minutes or so, even when cruising, and then will go up to 200+ where it will stay for remainder of the drive.
Temp outside when is 15 degree's celsius or more.
thanks for the help.
