Oil

* 40 psi pressure running is about right.
* Oil Temperature should be around
   85ºC minimum (185ºF) and 105ºC
   maximum (221ºF)

Coolant

* Run a radiator cap with the highest
   pressure rating that the radiator will
   stand.  19-21lbs is a good range.
* Coolant temperatures should be
   around 85ºC minimum (185ºF) and
   100ºC  maximum (212ºF).
