That would be the same temperature that the fan sensor turns on at right? I currently have my radiator apart and plan on testing the fan sensor by placing in a pan of water on the stove with a thermometer to see at what temp it turns on. I'll update when I get to it.
Good day Sir, the manual says the fan comes on at 175*F and off at 167*F, mine comes on at 178*F and off at 165*F so I think my fan is working fine. I would think that Honda wanted the
Engine to run in the area of the cooling fan temperature or at least for the cooling fan to be able to keep the temp. in that range.
Cars run much hotter then that, most of the cooling fans I have seen come on at anywhere from 210* to 228*.
The weird thing is the temp. sensor light in the manual says on at 246*F and off at 115*F, this does not make sense to me.
I am still in break in on my LT, 1/2 throttle runs now, the temp. is climbing up to 185*F and it seems that it would go higher but I stop and let the Engine cool down before proceeding. I have checked everything there is to check, coolant flow, air flow, my radiator is spotless inside and out, exhaust (no restrictions), I thoroughly flushed the pipe before installing and have since pulled my spark arrestor out and checked the silencer, it is fine no restrictions. I even warmed up my wife's pilot and compared exhaust flow, they are about the same. My jetting is rich for sure.
Maybe my Engine is just good and tight and I am worrying for nothing.
