Can someone check over these temp/pressure numbers and tell me if there's a problem?
I have a mostly standard 20XE, GM 10/40 semi, Mocal 10 row cooler with standard stat in sandwich plate, Stack oil temp/pressure gauges...
Road use:
Temp sits between 80 and 105-110C depending on tootling/country road abuse
Pressure sits at 25psi idle and 60-70psi acceleration/driving
Track use:
Temp goes up to 120C ish
Pressure drops to around 35-45psi (lower when cornering) and sits a little lower when idling too
This sounds too low to me? Is the 120C temp OK or should I look to aid cooling even more?
I know I've started a thread on this before but I thought the cooler would sort it, and ideally I won't have to put different oil in it just for trackdays?!
Cheers!
