Default Re: running hot

woofa,
I don't have a thermostat, yet, but after a short drive (3 or 4 miles) I use an infrared thermometer to check temps. I usually find the front of the head around 145F, the rear about 150F and the lower hose pipe about 125F. Infrared thermometers can be found online for less than $20 US. You should borrow or buy one to verify what the motor is doing.
