Running Temps *valvers*

[big hp]

Where does your temp gauge sit? Ive just fitted a new thermostat and it sits about 2 lines under the 3/4 mark the fan comes on about 2 lines over the 3/4 mark. My mates valver runs at 1/2 way and the fan comes in on 3/4 but anothers runs inbetween the two ive mentioned. Weird.

my temp guage never goes above 1/2 way on my valver.

Mine is similar to yours big hp, sits at about half or just over and then goes to just over 3/4 and the fan kicks in!

Mine sits just below 3/4s Danny.

Changed the temp sensor, fan switch and thermostat now.

Going to do a compression test tonight me thinks, just to make sure there all even and give me a indication if its the head gasket.

Mine runs on 1/4 and the fan kicks in dead on 3/4.

From what I understand peoples valvers run temps all over the place.

Im not using any water, and oil - water is all clean. Might just be the way it is. always used to run at 1/2 though. Left it for 2 weeks and it now runs higher. Thats why I started changing the possible problem parts, temp sensor and thermostat.

have they not made a difference changing these parts?

A good coolent flush and changing these parts should help surely?

Well this is how mine runs and it had a flush, new water pump and thermostats about 3 months ago.

Didnt completely flush coolant only what escaped when I changed the thermostat so about 3 litres.
