Cooler wrote:Source of the post I am always confused on engine temp in relation to fuel burn. The engines run like they just came off the assembly line, smooth, never any issues with idle speed. Have friends who have issues with losing engine at idle when cruising down alley at marina. Always happens when they are right around their dock. er
The following basics refer to engines that have raw water ( water from the surrounding water body ) running thru their blocks for cooling.My opinions.
The higher you can get the head temps the better and more efficient the engine will run to a point ( street engines run over 200 ). The 160 stats have zero to do with the fuel and everything to do with deposits from the water you are in, bonding to the engine block cooling passages above a certain temp. The lower temp stats are installed in engines that are running in salt and brackish ( the manufacturer doesn't know where the engine will end up so errs on the safety side) and instals the lower temp.
There is no reason not to run 160's in fresh, has always worked for me......even running for hours on plane.
Chances are your friends need a tune up or adjustment....etc...again my opinions.

Re: Run Dry Impellers
However, over the last couple of years I have been clocking around 150 hrs/season on the 6.0's and when they come out - they look like they wanna be replaced.
I try not to 'skimp' on the important stuff.
