it's a wooly worm

What is the correct operating temperature?
does the correct operating temperature of a diesel engine, equal the thermostat opening temperature?

Simon, I used to block off the rad in the winter with cardboard to keep the temps up. The Canadian BJ60's and others had a radiator blind from the factory (mine was removed so I could get the A/C to fit).

diesels run inheriantly colder than a gasser and a winter wind block is a good idea.
the thermostate for CDM models is 88C and that is what these engines run at, as Rosco says + or - a bit... __________________ pulling this info out of my ass so take it with a pound of salt "People are poor because they don't spend money wisely, tough sh!t !!!

what i do is run 2 pieces of cardboard just over half the width of the rad opening. this way i could block off the whole rad if i wanted or i could slide one piece over the other for an opening up to 1/2 the rad...
it seems to work well... __________________ pulling this info out of my ass so take it with a pound of salt "People are poor because they don't spend money wisely, tough sh!t !!!

yep using the radiator blind. i now see the advantage of the webasto/espar heating systems for the colder parts of Canada, to bring those diesels upto operating temp.
it's -25c at the moment.
