for that motor.... I bet the average is hotter than it should be

did I tell you that I won a trophy?

Water temp should run on the thermostat,,, so 82 deg

oil pressure (while running along) should be 60-ish ,,,Hot (as in up to running temp)

& approx 25+ while idleing,,, hot (again as in up to running temp)
