The quick and dirty answer: depends on where you put the sender. I tried both at sparkplug and under the temp sender for the FI. At the sparkplug: regular, city driving temp is 350F. Highway with headwind can take it up to 380-400F. Uphill towards Flagstaff, AZ, hot day, it actually hit 500F; that was probably stupid. Have no idea if this is justified, but I get uncomfortable when the temp stays around 370 and compells me to double-check valve clearance. You have hydraulic valves, so wouldn't need to do that, though. At other location: about 50 degrees less also because more exposed to cooling air. So when you turn off the engine, the needle goes up. I don't remember this happening at the sparkplug. Sami
