Default Re: water temperature (michelc4)

My 86 L98 kicks in between 227 and 229 degrees farenheit and then turns back off aroun 212 degrees.....

Not sure what the conversion factor is to get to celsius, but maybe someone else can help out with that....

If my conversion is right your fan is coming on at around 230 and going off at 208.4 F. Sounds about right if its a factory coolant switch in the head. You might want to change it to a lower on if that bothers you, I like mine a little cooler than that. :cheers:
