I do have a warm 6 as well.....Crow 664 cam, mild porting, holley....3 core copper rad, can't remember the thermostat temp range and this doesn't get upto the temps you're referring to unless I have done some running and stop at lights at on a hot day....Again, tap water with that....

Yes, I'm referring to 6 bangers with my quotes but still yours still seem excessive with the quick temp rising you're reporting.....

Your oil pressure issues...Have you spoken to the old mechanic as to what oil viscosity you should run with the clearance on the crank you have?
Yeah it was his recommendation of 10w40. He called it super slow oil. Temp reading is from the systems menu. It has never reached over just a smidge above half on the needle. 100° isn't that excessive if you think about combustion is at around 4-500°

I have never seen a cammed 6. I have a mate desperate to do it. What sort of power increase did you see. What does it sound like. I can't imagine it
