I have a 1996 351 volvo penta ford engine with a 4bbl holley carb rebuilt.
All new parts from remanufactured engine to pumps etc.
When engine is at running temp the right side, looking from behind, runs from 10 to 15 degrees jotter that the left.

Both sides have pleny of water flow.

It seems the temps at the manifolds are off by 5 to 10 degrees while the elbow is at 10 to 15 degrees different.

Cool. I have asked a few friends in the know too and they all had the same reply.

What temp swing would be cause for concern?

Thanks
