82 C, but that is with a race thermostat. You should be looking around 90 C


Please ask the question in your title.

Mines only around that also, so I just ordered a 88deg thermostat, hope that helps because IMO 70deg is to low...

Mine sits between 80 and 90 degrees C with an 82 degree thermostat in it.

Do you know what thermostat you have in your car or if it does have one at all?

110 is a bit hot, check your timing, retarded dizzy can cause it to get hot.

check your thermostat isnt getting stuck open, put it into boiling water from the kettle and slowly add cool water with a thermometer in the water and see what temp it closes at.

should open at the rated temp and close not far below it.

Mine sits halfway between E and M. :mrgreen:

I have blocked the grill completely to see if I can get it to run better when it is -6°. It does not seem to make any difference to hot running but it seems to help cold running.
