Sooooo, say I have a non-contact thermometer; what would be the best spot on the engine to measure in order to get an accurate indication of its temperature while it's running? I would think the thermostat housing would be just fine once it's warmed up, but I'd like to be certain. And to follow up that question (this one's for the gurus); what'd be the ideal, perfect operating temperature for a 225? |

As hot as you can run it without creating problems with detonation and/or carburetor boiling. See this recent post.So far zero pinging in my truck with the 205° thermostat, and fuel economy and driveability are all improved. But I don't have to worry about fuel heating because I've got fuel injection. |
