Savage runs cold

[Rickman769]

Something's wierd about my savage it runs really well but theres not much smoke, but its running at like from 150-180 degrees that seems really cold, one day it was like 127 degrees, but it still runs good no boggin at all
Do you thinks somethins messed up?

where are you checking the temp? the best closest accurate way is the top of the glow plug... plus all big blocks require a warm up before bashing it or running it fully... give it a min or 2 of warm up easy running then bash it around..

I'm checking as close to the top of the plug as i can get and those temps are after about 5-6min of running
Its wierd i drive it fast too, its still running cold

You might want to check you temp gun. If it's a .21 BB and you can get your truck to move at those temps your lucky. At that tempurature the motor should be spitting out tons of fuel and sound very blubbery.

Yeah I would have to agree with Randy here. Check your temp gun on something else you know the temperature of or find a buddy that yo u know has a temp gun. If it is truly running at that temp I would be seriously amazed.

 

[Rickman769]

how would i check my temp gun

 

[newnitrofan]

I thought about it and thought about it. Why don't you turn your oven to 250 degrees or any temperature for that matter and let pre-heat for about 20 minutes or so and there you go. Either your temp gun or oven is totally out of wack. Most likely the temp gun. Later

 

[RandyT]

Point it in your mouth and the temp should read close to 98.6

 

[Rickman769]

ill try that thats a good idea about the oven
i just hope i havent messed up my engine

If your temp gun checks fine, then you need to lean out the engine. You will get hotter temps and better performance. A cold running engine is a rich running engine.
