Ihave a 2007 rk, i've installed the Tmax speedo and have access to the "head temp sensor".

Is this sensor in the front cyclinder?

I was wondering (1)if anyone might know what the normal operating temperature should be and (2)what temp would be considered to high?

Which temp is more informative "head" or "oil" temp?

Yes the sensor is in the front head, normal operating temp is between 200 to 235 but it will get up to 260 in heavy stop and go traffic,280 would be considered high temps.
The ECM uses head temp not oil tem so I would say head temp is more useful.

 

Doc1,

Thanks for your reply.

I regularly hit 270-285 in high traffic(everyday). I wasn't running so hot before cam change, se255 to woods tw6-6.
Any suggestions on how to determine what the trouble is?
I have 2007 BB103ci (the cheap BB) rineharts TD, big sucker2, jagg oil cooler amsoil, Tmax w/autotune. I was thinking maybe timing, but I really don't have a clue.
