There have been many threads about repairing and calibrating temperature gauges. Let's say we have done that and have accurate information on the engine temp.
We know that the Squarebird cooling system is perhaps marginal and can stand improvement (again, many threads . . . fans, shrouds and so on)
All that said, for an engine of the composition of the FE, just how hot (in actual degrees) is too hot?? When would you pull over and take a break rather than do damage to the motor? 200 ?
This also takes into account that the sending unit is on top of the front of the motor and we do not have oil temperature available.
Any thoughts ??
