[W126 Coupe] Temp gauge

[Barry Corno]

Broken,

      I just had the top end re-done, putting in Euro cams. The bottom 

End at 256K we did not touch. These motors are something. This second

Engine is a Metric Motors re-built. 

 

B.C. "83" 380 SEC AMG   548K

Mine always stays at 80.C, never budges. Your car is broken!!

 

Just kidding. When Vegas gets upward of 100.F, the temp wanders up to
100.C, even with the dual electric fans. It very rarely goes over 100.C
any more though, in town. Funny effect from the electric fans - there is
a pretty good size plastic housing associated with the fans and when I'm
over 70mph in the heat, the engine gets a little warmer (105-110.C)
since the housing seems to block some air flow. As soon as I slow down,
the temp drops back to normal.


Later,
Mike Ramay

	Hey Ramay,

	     The northwest has had a couple of 100 degree days. My temp

	gauge usually runs just over the 80.C on everyday driving.
Yesterday it

	moved up to the 100 C line. Everything working fine. Auxiliary
fans working

	and air just fine. The question is in Vegas on those hot days,
do you run

	in that area?

	 

	B.C..
