[QUOTE="Uncle Hud, post: 1191985, member: 29492"] ^^^^^ (up three posts) Holy shit! Did Bust [B]reassure[/B] a noob that it was OK to ask before googling? And then explain how it is done?!?! Something must be wrong with the forum software ........ ------------------------------------ With sincere respect: My 2 cents (exchanged into loonies for my new Nova Scotian friend, [B]Dale2010[/B]) is that internal combustion engines need to run at high temps, and require pressurized cooling systems that allow them to operate well above the boiling point. Our portable nuke plant (SSN 682 -- mentioned for Veterans Day) ran coolant temps within a few degrees of 480F, and was pressurized like an accountant at tax time. You should expect your coolant temp to drop once out of town, with the higher volume of cooling air passing through the radiator. When stopped at a red light, there's very little cooling air [U][I]passing through[/I][/U] the radiator, so its ability to cool the coolant is significantly reduced. Coolant temp varies, and it's no big deal. As long as she stays within the temp range called out in the Canadian Owner's Manual, you should devote your attention to flower-sniffing or whatever else one does in the Maritimes in November.
