Significant Technical Input Registered SVX
Transmission and radiator temps.

Fun With Numbers

I had an SVX on the lift this morning with the thermostat removed to circulate a radiator flush and took these digital readings all within a few minutes, after the car was running for about ten minutes.
The dash temperature gauge showed ¼.

Trans pan--------------------------107°f-----106°f
Trans out line-----------------------137°f-----129°f
Trans return line--------------------129°f-----124°f
SSM Water temp--------------------145°f-----144°f
SSM Trans temp---------------------91°f -----95°f
Bottom of head---------------------144°f-----145°f
Header with shield removed----------346°f-----346°f
Bottom of radiator-------------------122°f-----118°f
Lower hose-------------------------119°f-----117°f
Upper hose-------------------------124°f-----120°f
Top of engine block-----------------128°f-----133°f
Upper intake manifold---------------100°f------98°f


Note; Silla radiator, AC on, garage temp 80°f.
