Re: engine build temps
Here is a good explanation of temps on torque - https://cr4.globalspec.com/comment/5...nt-temperature

Re: engine build temps
I would be more worried about proper clearance readings / measurements.
Most precision tools are calibrated at / for a specific temperature. Also to include the part being measured. |
