Since I started this thread I have to chime in!
Bill,
Can I ask you where your
oil temp sending unit is located? Also, BTW, I sent you an email via the forum email link a few days ago and you never responded. I assume you did not received it.
Maybe your mail address needs updating in the user area? The email was related to your remote
oil filter mounting.
Update on my car -
After replacing the thermostat, gauge and verifying the grounds and wiring I am pretty sure my problem is that the sending unit is not getting up past my lowest gauge reading of 140 f. My sending unit is located in the bottom front portion of the Aviad
oil pan. The lines are plenty warm from the engine out but after passing through the oil filter, cooler etc I think it is just too cool in the bottom of the pan. Water temp reads anywhere from 180 - 210 f. Any thoughts on this?
BinB,
Where is your sending unit located? If it is immediately following the oil out line or in the bock maybe this is giving a high reading and by the time it gets back to the engine it is actually cooler than 210 f?
Thanks,
Mike
