So what’s the max safe temperature for these engines then. Mine generally sits at 80’C -90’C normal abuse driving. Stays at 75’C just pootling around. Only reason I ask is I had 4 tonne behind it today. Did a 150 mile trip. Outside temp was 25’C. Truck pulled like a tank. I was very impressed with it compared to the last crappy jap engine it had in. It sat between 80-90 most of the way. But on one big long pull (about 3/4 of a mile) up a steep hill it got to 100’C. EGT’s got to 600’C. Was a long pull and I had foot flat down and she was pulling at 65mph. Soon as I hit the flat on top again it dropped back to 90’C. Does anyone reckon this would Be a problem for short periods. I don’t tow too often, just when no one else will take the big loads. But I was thinking of a larger ally rad. I’m paranoid about cooling after blowing two heads on the last jap engine and I’ve put soo much time and effort Into this build that I don’t want to ruin it. Any thoughts
