A set of FLIR images from today...

If anybody wants specific numbers, I can dig those out of the raw data. Just let me know.

If anybody thinks this info belongs in its own thread, let me know. I was torn.

Anyway...After about 10 minutes idling in the garage with air temp of around 82F






...and after an easy evening ride thru the countryside. Air temp of about 78F.

That's pretty interesting. Do you have a special camera for that?

Yes. There are a couple reasonably affordable models that can detect higher temperatures like our exhaust. Several more that can see up to about 300F.

Seek Thermal and Flir make the ones I was looking into. I've been keeping tabs on them for a couple years now and decided the new Flir One Pro fit the bill so I picked one up.

Added a few data points and changed some of the settings for better visualization of where the heat is.

I think I may need to look into my oil cooler plumbing. Not sure what temp the thermostat opens, tho.

The IR sensor doesn't seem to like chrome or polished surfaces but I haven't played with the emmissivity settings yet.

Sure did! I'm definitely working out the jitters. The lack of a current registration and the leaking tank is keeping me back now. I want to burn thru this tank of fuel so I can finish the welding and grinding. Just gotta keep it on country roads where I'm not likely to get pulled over.
