What is the normal operating temp for this motor. It runs at 160 idling but climbs to 180 under full throttle. Customer states this has never happened before. Thermostats are new and runs 5700 rpm at wot. I am doing a water pump and inlet screens on it friday. Pump is 2 seasons old. No water pressure gauge though.

My '95 60° looper V6 operates from 130°F - 150°F thru the range of rpm's and load. 180°F is up near where the horn should sound. A flush and impellar are in order, and doublecheck the warning system for safety.<br />Good luck
