I have a laser pointing temp gauge. Where should I read the temp at?In the head, and if so exactly where should my red dot be? On the block? And after how many minutes of aggressive driving what is a safe temp? Dave

And after how many minutes of aggressive driving what is a safe temp?

after the engine has warmed up and uve been driving a while or even hit wot a while the temp should be above 260-270 if properly tuned ...if u get higher richen your engine or try fuel with more nitro content....may seem weird, but it will decrease your engine temp

The best operating temp is between 210 and about 230

You should get the temp from the glow-plug area, and NOT the top of the head.
