Ideal water temp
I have a stock 5.0 in my 90 GT. At 112k, I upgraded to a 3 row brass rad, a replacement stock-type fan, a new fan clutch, a Stewart water pump, and a Robertshaw high flow thermo. The car also takes longer to warm up but I contribute that to the holes in the high flow thermostat, which I can always replace. It obviously takes longer for the heater to get hot, but since my car runs MUCH cooler, the heat will get warm, but not as warm as it used to be. Suggestions?
My temp gauge used to hover a little below the midpoint on the gauge (about 190 I guess). Now my car runs at about 130, is this too cold? What are the advantages and disadvantages of this? Milage, power, engine wear, oil consumption/pressure from not being warm enough? |
