Default Re: Update on my hi-miler Z project

OK, looks like the engine is running at the correct temperature. The halfway point on the dash gauge is roughly equivalent to about 85 C, and the 100 C point (212F) is about 3/4 up. So it looks like the temps are where they ought to be, and the problem is that the temp sensor is calibrated differently than stock.

I'll probably live with it for now, if it's still bugging me the next time I have to pull the plenum, I'll swap it out with an OEM sensor.

Everything is running great, still a bit rough idle from time to time, but very smooth and quiet otherwise. The smooth motor, and the fresh clutch and hydraulics really have made the car feel like new.
