I'm getting ready to install a water temp. gauge. What do you all think is the max. water temp. I should let it get to. Want to get a gauge with the right graduation's. Thanks Wayne

Well 244° is when the factory overtemp sender trips so that would be a max. I never liked it getting over 225°

Thanks Travis, I'm going to try to put my gauge in tommorow. If it is not raining. Wayne

Travis got it correct. When you run these motors hot (244 deg) you rist cracking heads and pushing out coolant or head gaskets. Try to maintain temps below 225 just to be kind to your motor.
