1600 Crossflow Running Temperature

[HKM400]

Hi all,

 

Wondering what fellow 1600 ford crossflow motor owners are seeing temperature wise at operating temp.

Drove mine at the weekend and it was sitting around the 90 degree mark- didn't exceed this. I've heard they tend to run a bit hotter than normal...

 

Any help appreciated,

 

Cheers

90 is good. I ran my pre-crossflow race motors at 90 and they usually looked great when stripped down at the end of each season

I run 90 degrees on my xflow too

I run an 82 degree thermostat in my Kent, only 'cos the radiator is a bit sad and it spends a bit of time in traffic. It doesn't seem to mind though
