Please can someone tell me the optimum running temperature of an ARR Ruby?
I have heard so many discussions on overheating and boiling on long climbs or in traffic.
I am not experiencing any overheating problems myself, and in fact believe the engine to be running on the cold side, as I rigged up a temporary capillary gauge and only seemed to reach 40-45 degrees Celsius, even on a long climb, going up to 70 degrees stationary in traffic.
I have a standard 2 bladed fan and radiator.
With the recent discussion on fuel economy I was wondering what affect this was having.
