Awhile back, I asked whether a water temp reading of 200 and an oil temp of about 270 was normal and was told that it was dangerous. However some of the other related posts have me wondering again. I don't believe I mentioned that the oil temp sending unit was in the side of the block not in the oil pan as I read in another posting. I had removed the allen plug just above the fuel pump. I haven't run it much since then and still plan to test the accuracy of both temp gauges with a mechanical gauge as suggested. Does the location of my sender change the answer as to what readings I should expect?
Next question relates to oil cooling. If I relocate my a/c condensor to the front of the car, is there any reason I couldn't mount an oil cooler in the location of the old a/c condensor and use the a/c condensor fan? Has anyone already done this?
Last is probably a dumb question, Jack but what does "IMHO" stand for.
Thanks
Gary
