87 right side overheating
I have a 1987 that the right hand head is running 260*F while the left head and t-stat housing are running at 216*F. Temp gauge shows 260*F and scan tool shows 218*F, both accurate. This is confirmed using temp gun. When the cooling fans turn on the temp gauge in the dash reads 260-280*F. What would cause the difference in the side to side temps?
