my oil pressure looks low all the time(at idle) maybe in the lower third?? not sure on numbers...Water temp should be around 175-200.
If your running hot try redlines"water wetter" and a 180* stat...don't use the 160..you will run rich all the time ------------------ 4.10's,long tubes & 75 shot...Goes 12.50's Check it out at http://www.burnouts.webprovider.com 11's coming soon!!!! Heads,intake and cam are all here |
i never put a 180 thermo in..but usually when its warmed up after driving for awhile it reads inbetween 160 and 180..and some times after alot of town driving it reads over 180..mabe a previous owner did..anyway to tell? and when it reads close to 180 my oil pres. is usually down close to 20....any of this sound odd?

Mine always reads in the upper 1/3 (oil) and the the temp always in the lower 1/3. Is my temp too low. I do smell the gas quite a bit when I let it idle in place for a bit, but I do only have 2 cats.

another thing...when the car is warmed up it usually reads just a bit under 180 but when i shut it off it reads close to 200..is it normal for it to get that hot..i know that with the engine shut off no coolant is being circulated but still?
