Temp sender housing is 199 and the radiator is 148-168 , the heads are 178-215 and the heat crossover in the intake is 270. Any thoughts on these numbers?
The 270 in the crossover.... Are you aiming this temp gun at the very top of the crossover as opposed to the lower half where the coolant actually is? Sounds like you may be reading higher temps because of the air in the top half of the crossover? Your temp sender is in the crossover yes? Do the temps match or is the sender reading the coolant and the gun air temps?
