HKM400 299 Report post Posted November 22, 2016 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mk2marty 1,082 Report post Posted November 23, 2016 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
