Thanks for the post. Very informative. I am a bit hyper sensitive of engine temps due to the probs with the ZD30. Sure I warped an exhaust manifold when towing up mount ousley near Wollongong last year. Was on 2nd gear, doing 30km/hr just trying to keep my EGT's below 650.
What was interesting was the old engine I sent to Simms metal. The exhaust port from the Turbo had a massive exhaust leak. Interesting as to to post engine replacement forensics... Shows some interesting info.
No doubt the Chev can cater for higher temps. It heritage has to take this into account.
As I said, it is a big learning curve at the moment. Stay tuned for more updates if it does not bore the recipients.
