Engine temp vs head temp
What should the degree temperature be between the two
On the 103 motor. I've noticed that the head temperature runs about 100 degrees hotter than the engine temp. The engine temperature is right around 250 in the head temperature runs around 350.
Sounds about right?

How are you measuring these?

From Jamie at FuelMoto:
There are several temp related channels within the Delphi ECM. The most common channel used is Engine Temperature which is based directly off the 0-5V signal from the ET sensor on the front cylinder head, this channel is reported on the databus as ET. Generally speaking when we speak of engine temp we refer to the data from this channel, we usually consider 240-320F about the normal range relative to conditions, engine mods, and other variables. The second channel is Head Temperature which this is a bit more complex, it is a model the ECM calculates based on the ET sensor, the intake air temp (IAT) and other factors. Head Temp is used within the ECM primarily for Spark Temp correction, for most combination it will run between 260-400F. Note: Heat Temp has been recently added to the PV channel list an is reported as HeadT. The last channel is Coolant Temp which is active on twin cooled and V Rod applications. Hope this info helps...
