Ok. Yesterdays IR reading are junk. The IR gun needed a new battery and you can't get accurate readings off of shiny aluminum! Started today test run with ambient temp of 99, concrete driveway at 136, asphalt road at 156, everything on the car at 97-98, with the ac on at the lowest (least cooling) setting. After 4 laps it slowly increased to 212 and I pulled into the garage and took the 215 pic. The numbers from the back of the heads showed under 200 until I put tape on them and then both were 235-245. Can't hear any gurgling until after shutdown and then there was just a little bit.
Fans were wired through relays 5-6 years ago after a console switch got fried. I'm not technical enough to comment on the quality of it except to say that the people helping me were engineers that work with electrical issues professionally.
Yeah, I'm going to switch the cap back to the 16psi cap I had there originally. I didn't ask for the 20psi cap.
Only 1 fan fuse blew and it's been fine since. I am considering getting the wiring reviewed by my mechanic to see if a larger gauge pulling directly from the source would make any difference.
Oil pressure was on the tick halfway between 35 and 70.
Yes it's a fully shrouded radiator. To my untrained hand test the drivers side (the one the the fuse blew on) seems to blow a little more air than the one on the passenger side. All the hoses are gates green stripe and that piece is the longest one. The rest are much shorter. I had a issue with a too long piece that was not gates green stipe a few years ago! Lesson learned there.
