Recently found this forum and it has been great! Had a a few questions about a 350Q engine I am partially rebuilding. it is fresh water raw water cooled.
1. I am not sure I am finding the water temp sensor. Where is that located?
2. What temp thermostat should I use? 142 or 160 degree. manual says water temp should be between 140 and 160??
3. When assembling heads, intake, manifolds and risers etc. Should I clean off the paint that is on the gasket mating surfaces. Place where I got the heads done said don't worry about it. But it just bothers me for some reason.
4. I found all the exhaust sytem parts except for the inlet end manifold header of the manifold. part #5 page 20 of the old CC parts catalog. Anyone know a source?
5. I am assuming the oil pressure sensor is the "sensor dohickey looking thingy" near and behind the impellor pump coming out of the block?
Found some great info all over but have been piecing things together here and there. Plus nearly 20 years since I really worked an engine. Really appreciate any help.
