78 Leyland default cooling setup 1100cc engine how hot is too hot? The engine sits in the low 80s but creeps up with a bit of hooning and traffic. As we are getting into the hotter months just asking what should the engine temps be and what is the max temp i should run the car at? Thanks in advance |

80-90 is fine. 100 is getting a bit hot depending on the coolant you are using. Plain water boils at 100c |

Water won't boil at 100C if the 13psi radiator cap is sealing That said, 100 is a bit hot. Check your radiator isn't clogged internally. Also check your ignition timing isn't retarded. |

What would 100 degrees relate to on the gauge ? Like 3/4 or above ? |

Well above 3/4 I think. On a roundy gauge, 82C/180F is about in the middle. |
