My 1980 MGB runs awful hot under normal running conditions (IE cruising down
the freeway--no load on the engine).  Water level OK; thermomoeter new (165
degrees); radiator probably old and in need of attention.  Anyway temp gauge
usually stays between H and C, but the engine is hot.  (Can't touch the
radiator hose).  To get a better look at engine temp I installed a cylinder
head temperature gauge on the console in place of the heater switch, with
sender attached under the #4 plug.  Any thoughts on what the normal cylinder
head temperature range should be?  --John Trifari  1980 MGB/1955 Healey BN1
