Hi All.
I need some advice on my engine.
It's a BMC 1.5 Diesel
Was wondereing if anyone knew what the operating temperature should be, and at what point is it classed as overheating.
At the moment it will run all day at 3/4 throttle and sit at 180 degrees, i was told not to push it to full throttle, but i figured it should be able to do it so i tried. when i did the temperature went up to 210 degrees.
is it overheating, or is that within the normal operating temperature?
how do i know if it is overheating? as there is no red mark on the temperature gauge.
I have got the repair manual for this engine but it dosn't give me this infomation.
Thanks
Kevin
