Normal engine operating temperature
What is everybody's engine temp running ? Mine is running around 198-200 deg. at or about 70 mph, unloaded. On I-95 in South Florida, flat road, outside air temp was 84 deg. I have seen engine temp go slightly above 200 deg. in heavy, stop and go traffic with outside air temp at or around 93 deg. Am I running too hot ?
