Re: 1929 626 engine operating temp

Engines need to run warmer than that. Since alcohol is no longer used as anti-freeze, there's no reason to run an engine any cooler than about 180F, and a lot of good reasons not to.

The engine would be happiest with a water outlet temperature around 200F, but that's pushing things a little far with a non-pressurized cooling system, especially at higher alitudes or hot weather driving.
