uktarget 0 Posted July 5, 2007 Me again being a noob as usual. Just wanted to know what sort of running temps i should be getting i've got a g60 just had coolant and head gasket. Im was running 65 mm pulley unkown chip k&n temps were about 80 water and 96 oil. Today i've put a bbm stage 3 chip and check valve on the car oil now gets to 102 and water about 90. Nowt to woory about or drop the valve and chip? or does the dizy timing need altering? Also fitting the red-tops tomorrow will that make any difference?

dirtytorque 0 Posted July 6, 2007 I don't think you should be concerened.Keep an eye on it and as long as its stable then i think your ok. Not unusual for a g60 oil to get to 130 altough If I see those types of temps I back of the right foot.(got to 140 once on a warm day :shock: )But iwas was opening her lungs a bit at the time. My oil seems to sit at about 114.Obviously the more power your engine is producing the hotter it will run and thus the more demands will be made on oil/cooling etc. If you get too concerned you can fit an uprated thermostat switch so that the fan comes in earlier and an aftermarket air to oil oil cooler. I'm buying a mocal oil cooler soon. I don't need it yet,but I plan to. 8) cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
just_say_meth 0 Posted July 6, 2007 ^^^ What he said!! Was seeing temps of 120+ (oil) sometimes, so got myself a mocal cooler and haven't seen anything more than 104 since then!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
uktarget 0 Posted July 6, 2007 I've only seen 102 and i did give it a bit last night today i've just done a 25 mile round trip normal driving and the highest i've seen is 96 so i've worried for nowt. Think i'l get a mocal cooler tho as im going to get the charger ported in the very near future and slap a cam in Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
