Thanks Duncan, Roland & Pete for your replies. You make me feel a bit better
about the low coolant temperature! Indeed I have always considered the oil
temperature
to be more I mportant hence my fitting an oil thermostat and the oil
temp now seems to be as good as one could ever expect, 80 deg C all the time
in the air.
I was just concerned about the low coolant temperature because Im sure that on
other forums somewhere I have seen people saying that it is important to keep
the cylinders running at a reasonable temperature too. I cant remember where
Ive seen that though! As you say though Duncan, there is no lower limit for
it! My cylinder head temperature is often down at about 50 degrees C in the
cruise
in summer and yesterday (cold day) was about 30 to 40 degrees in the cruise.
That was with the oil at 80 degrees with its thermostat and 50% of the
coolant radiator taped off!
