Every hot day, since the new engine, it's been running hotter than it did before. Normally around 210 on the highway, but if I stop it gets pretty hot. It was around 220+ idling with the A/C on, and 215 running on the highway... I have a 2 core aluminum radiator, newer fan clutch, thermostat is a 195 motorcraft.
I re-routed the mechanical temp gauge along the engine block, and at one point it comes very close (less than an inch) to the exhaust/header collector. Could this be causing a false reading? It doesnt act like its really hot...
