Subject: Re: Good gosh, thats a sexy fan! by bam on 2011/3/17 15:49:02 I thought one of the reasons for the mobil 1 oil being required in the LT1 was the high engine temps, the high temps were not there for performance gains or long engine life but for emissions? Is that right? Few other engines are allowed to run so "hot". Especially race cars are allowed to "cool down" after a race because heat soaks into the intake and reduces performance?? (reduces performance a little but still when you are racing it might mean the diff. between a win or loss) The purpose of the t-stat is to keep the engine "warm" but if you had a 240 deg. t-stat then even going down the hwy your motor would never run below 240 deg. |
