Coolant Operating Temperature

quote:

Is this acceptable and safe?

Yes.

In general, if your Pantera does not boil over after shut down, the cooling is sufficient.

Stock gauges are notorious for not being accurate, and since most cars just have idiot lights, when a new owner actually sees temperatures for the first time on a gauge, fear starts to settle in.

Assuming you are using an IR temp gun for that reading?

The standard location for reading temp is with a sender installed in the block just below the thermostat. They came stock in the surge tank; not a good place. They should be moved to the block.

Thanks! Yes, We used an Infra Red Temperature Sensor Gun.
