I'm not sure what the relationship is between inside and outside temps. Our gun only goes to 900 degrees and it does peg it when we hold the engine under load at 3500 rpm. Idle is about 750 degrees. I'm sure someone else has more info on this. I didn't ask you about preload on the bolts. Are you sure you're not over tightening the bolts when you install them.
