Hi guys,
I've had a search but not really come up with a definitive answer. What is considered the normal operating temperature of the 4.6 gems? From what I've read it seems to be mid 90's ish.
According to nanocom, mine is running at around 98-100 which seems a bit too high for my liking. In the last year I've replaced the thermostat, waterpump and radiator (3 times but thats another story lol). It's never overheated at all but when you park up it is a bit toasty. Done the newspaper trick on the fan and it shreds it.
Am I over-reacting?
In the next month or so I'm going to be stripping it down to replace the rocker cover gaskets and replace the lpg pipes. Anything else I could do while I'm there?
Thanks for any advice
