<x-flowed>I finally found my K-type thermocouples that I have, so now I can get some good engine temp readings. Does anyone know what certain temps should be on a stock FI motor? I measured the exhaust temp by sticking the thermocouple on the tailpipe...80C/176F (im sure the air coming out the underside of the car altered this some). I also measured the temp the fan housing, again by sticking the thermocouple on the outside of it...37C/99F. These temps were after my wife got done doing some around town driving, so these arent "after driving at 75mph" kind of temps :) Any suggestions on how I should go about measuring the oil temp? I was thinking about affixing the T/C to the end of the dip stick. Im pretty sure that sticking it on the outside of the sump will not give an accurate measurement. Also any temp specs that I should be reading would be appreciated. Oil temp? cooling air temp? any others?
