The Ford Barn - View Single Post - passenger side of the motor running 20 degrees hotter than driver side

If there is higher compression on one bank than the other the low side will run hotter.
Also, the Flathead block is designed with longer intake ports and shorter exhaust ports on one bank. That is the primary technical reason one bank runs cooler than the other.
