BONNET TEMPERATURE

[msl212]

The temperature in the center of the bonnet, on the "bulge" is 84 Celsius. This high temperature has contributed to the paint bubbling. Is this a problem with the paint job or is this hotter than it should be. The engine is running between 70 and 80, which seems normal. Other parts of the bonnet are much cooler. Why should that area be the hottest, it is not over the exhaust manifold?

I would like to know if this is correct and the issue is with the paint or primer, or if there is something more to worry about.

Thanks.

Are you using the cast manifolds or tubular ones?

Hi David,
Original style cast.
