Simple Question
what is the SAFE operating water temperature a stock d15b? i just got a little water temp gauge because my stock one gave out...anyway while just crusing with little traffic it reads 160F ish and while in heavy traffic it does a little past 170F. I noticed when it gets that hot some smoke comes from the valve cover area, but i was thinking maybe its the cheap silver/gray hi-temp paint just burning a little? ( just painted it recently)
appreciate your help!

Re: Simple Question
thats normal, in fact those temps are a little cooler than stock. as for the smoke, no clue, park it when it starts and look under your hood.

Re: Simple Question
Pop the hood and see where the smoke is coming from. Paint usually puts off black smoke when it gets hot.
