What is the optimal temperature for the engine?

 

Jaguar used both 82ēC and 88ēC thermostats in the Series II and III cars....suggesting that's where they would like it to run....which happens to be the same as a vast array of other cars.

If I had to pick a single number I'd say 88ēC

I think the last place I had it in at took that thermostat out. With the weather being cooler now the never gets up to normal running temp which I don't think is good. I have ordered a thermostat from SNG Barret and plan to install when it comes in. I assume I just drain off some coolent before opening things up.

 

No thermostat not a good thing. My lump runs at about 90C.
GM reverse flow cooling. An emsions thing. I could put in a cooler
T'stat and remove the hot water intake heat and get some more beans. But, it has plenty as it is...


Factory engineers are pretty smart.


Gonna do a remote diagnostic with one on my cold tankless water heater. Warranty???
