The passanger side of engine seems to run 10 degrees hotter than left side. I,ve installed new thermostates but still the same. Only runs hotter when pulling a hill or going over 65mph. I,ve done about it all except tearing motor down. Engine runs great and does not smoke. HELP! |

Steve;
Try getting somebody to check your fuel rod balance from left to right side of governor, if all other easy fixes fail. Sometimes with uneven adjustment, one cylinder bank will pull more load than the other. Also,if this condition persists, you could experience failure of the slipper bushings in the pistons.

It doesn't mean anything as long as you are not overheating-- it's all a matter of flow and what is hooked up to either side-- like the oil or transmission cooler. |

Over 65mpg it will run 190 degrees and pulling small hills 195 degrees.
Trans cooler is rigth before going into water pump.
Would the after cooler make a difference, because its plumbed into right side thermostate housing |

I have 280,000 miles on my 8V92 and one side has always ran hotter than the other. jc |

More than likely it is the transmission oil cooler return line causing the 10 deg. difference... I have the V730 and if I put a little too much oil in it, at high speeds, it will run hotter.. it is the same trans. as the 740 but in a V config. and 3 speeds ??? |
