Scotty, from what I've been told fitting a stage 2 valve body will slightly decrease the oil temp, but you would probable not even notice the difference on a gauge.
From the sound of it your heat issues have been an issue for a while, can u confirm this, also has it been like that since you have had the car / fitted the gauge?
What is the temp anyway?
Stage 2 does make gear changes between 1st and 2nd quicker and stops flares etc so not a waste of money, definitely something wrong there mate, esp as the tc is not locking up anymore

Thanks mate - been getting bloody hot since the turbo went in - even wrapped the oil lines in heat shielding where they go past the dump pipe. The only change that occurred at the same time was the new coil an module on the dizzy?? Can't see how this would have anything to do with it ALTHOUGH the tacho is now all over the shop - thought the tacho runs straight from the box, so unless it sends some sort of signal to the TCU and because it's thinking it's over revving its not locking up the converter then I'm stumped ...
My plan was to play around with the TPS and see if that makes a difference? I can live with the problems as they were the same as before (want it fixed or money back of course though), but the TC not locking up has me concerned ...
I thought tachometer rpm's came from the coil or number 1 lead?? I have been known to e wrong on the rare occasion :-)

Tell me more, tell me more!!!
That will really depend on he's setup as to what place the taco is hooked up.
On most it runs off the coil but in the case of a coil booster Or amplifier the signal is often picked up elsewhere.

Hmmmmm........ Im not so sure the auto's the problem.
Well I've always thought spark is what sends rpm's to the dial ie when I used to work on small motors chainsaws ets we'd clip a tachometer to the plug cap to tune to correct revs. Only the speedo should run off your trans

Thanks lads - spoke to Rodney and for the two issues they are separate - firstly, he reckons the auto box has an issue if the valve body isn't doing hat its supposed to: most likely needs band adjustment etc.
Secondly, he said the tacho absolutely feeds the TCU with information and for it to be all over the place the new coil is "causing too much interference/feedback through the wiring 'somehow'" and subsequently it's not letting the TC lockup ..
So my choice is leave it till I get back (doesn't see that not having the TC will cause any issue other than fuel consumption), or get a coil from an EB/ED V8 falcon (same plug as the Crane Cam coil I have) and try it.
And here I was thinking I'd have a very merry Xmas not having to work on Tank!!!! lmao - that's 2 years in a row if you all cast your minds back!! Thermostat sensor last year, this problem this year!!! How's my luck??!! lol
