What should the engine temperature be? The right engine temperature will vary widely, depending on the air
temperature, fuel used, altitude, driving style, air flow conditions
of the body and several other factors. There is absolutely no way
anyone can tell you an ideal engine temperature. It is generally accepted
that a proper range of temperatures is between 95 and 115 degrees
Celsius (or about 205 and 240 degrees Fahrenheit). The biggest variable
of all in measuring engine temperature is where and how the measurement
is taken. Your infrared thermometer may be calibrated completely different
than ours, or you may be pointing at a different spot on the head.
We usually check the temperature pointing the infrared on the glow
plug.
