Engine coolant temperature
After my first engine run up I'm puzzled by why my thermo fan didn't kick in and have done a bit of research.
A bit of checking to re-aquaint what I'd set up and I've a 91C thermostat but have sourced (wrongly) a 92 - 87C thermofan sensor. An 82C thermostat would probably be better for this thermofan sensor particularly as practically I measured the thermofan sensor opening at 88C and closing at 83C on the stove tonight.
But it got me thinking as to what operating temperature range is considerd appropriate for these engines. Mine is a 2002 EFI Windsor (AUII)
Have seen advice suggesting engine operation at around 93C is desirable.
Keen to hear if a 93C target is about right else what suggested operating range I should be considering.
I've still to decide whether to get a sensor bung welded next to the lower radiator outlet over the current location next to the inlet hose.
But I'll start this exercise from what the suggested temperature range should be first.
Keen for feedback guys.
Cheers
Steve
