428 Frua Forum / Water Temperature - 428 Frua

« on: July 24, 2008, 12:45:13 »

Not being very mechanically minded , I hope that somebody can help .
   
   428 Frua handbook spec seems to suggest that the low temperature stat is not fully open till 85 degrees and the high temp stat at 100 degrees.
   
   Does this mean that the designed operating temperature is circla 85 degrees and is that the level at which the electric fan should cut in?

428 Frua Forum / 428 Engine Oil Usage

« on: July 18, 2008, 10:55:02 »

CF 24 uses a lot of oil .  It does not seem to burn or leak it .
   
   Engine rebuilt only 12k miles ago .
   It has high presure pump , with starting pressure over 100 lbs per aq inch , running at 65/70 lbs .
   
   Using 20/50 oil . I think it had new sump made - not sure why and wonder if it is being over filled .
   
   Any suggestions.
