Temp up 10 degrees
Well I installed a set of ported and polished set of heads on the 02 Z06 and have noticed the oil temps up about 10 degrees. Anyone else seen this? They are from Texas Speed and Performance. Maybe all the cutting has made some jackets thinner drawing the heat up. The coolant temps seem to be about normal..... I think this is going to hose me out at VIR so may have to move to a external cooler..... Just looking to see if anyone else has installed a set of heads like this and had the same results
