Still working on the temp issues with my car. I've got control of the temps but am not ready to say I have no issues.
I'm seeing the temp at the water outlet of the heads at the front between the heads and the T-stat showing a pretty good difference form the driver side to the passenger side. With a 180* stat in I have 205* on the driver side and 155* on the passenger side. These tmeps were obtained with an IR gun shooting the intake right at the outlet of the head. I also have a sending unit on the intake between the head and the T-stat on the drivers side and one on the intake between the passenger side head and the T-stat both are pretty close to the IR gun readings.
I have seen this before and was thinking it may be due to the exhaust vlv is in the front on the driver side head and the intake vlv is on the front of the passenger side head so this may cause a temp difference but this is a rather large difference.
What is yawls thoughts on this?
Maybe someone with a temp gun can take some readings of theirs and see if there is a temp difference.
Thanks Neal
