power vision and others
I was wondering what your head temp reading are or engine temps. Not oil temps...
Mine has jumped 10 deg since I added a 6 speed tranny. up to about 280. that's the reading my vision is giving
Trying to find an average,....if there is one

Check my sig for what I got. 235 - 245 at highway speed with temp around 80. Same temp in town driving about 255 - 265. Seems to have went up about 5 degrees overall when I added cams. Maybe it's just me. Hottest I've ever seen it was 320 climbing Sandia Peak in Albuquerque. It was about 80 at the bottom, about 55 up top. Lots of 2nd gear climbing up there though. No adverse effects though. Ran good and strong.

Wow... Not for nuthin', and not sayin' those temps hurt anything, but you guys need one of those Wards fans. Fla...temps in mid 90's...Powervision says my heads are running 236* on the I-State and 240* extended in town. And it is rare to hit those numbers but that is the hottest I've ever seen it. Oh yeah, I also have one of his thermostats. It helps but probably really just postpones the inevitable. And no, I've got no stake in Wards stuff. Just a satisfied user.

I hit 295 yesterday. It was 90 deg outside. I know shaving my heads added heat. I wish I could get an idea of how much. Thanks for the reply's. Hopefully we'll see some more feed back....
FYI...I use lubricating Engineering long drain diesel oil. Some of the shops around here use it. It seems like if it can handle a supercharged tractor trailer. It should handle my bike .
