Pulled over let the water temp warm up to 80C and back on the freeway where it cooled to about 50C again. The oil temp was around 70 C. The weather here is cool at 55 F. After all that, I can't believe it, but I must have a stuck thermostat! I don't think I have an air pocket and I didn't drill or have any holes in the thermostat. It still doesn't seem possible! I'll get a new thermostat tomorrow! RATS! Thanks for the ideas and suggestions. |
Im not sure you really have any problems, at 55 degrees mine does not get much warmer than that and I know the
oil does not get warmer. I would try the thermostat and bleed it but if that does not change anything i wouldnt loose to much sleep over it.
