I’m sure it won’t be a big difference at the high flow rate. You would need a thermocouple in the water stream. Shooting the cast iron is too far off.
If you can drive 45 mph for 10 straight minutes, you have a good core.


Very true, driving at 45 for ten minutes on a hot day will tell you if your system is OK. But does not help telling you what is wrong. If a very general rule on temp differential can be developed you would know if you have radiator issue or something else. A hard lesson is spending a lot of time on all the other possible issues to find out like in my case at the end I additionally have a 2 row radiator that is not good enough.
