Ferrari Mailing List: Re: 512 temps

[pbennett (pbennett]

A newly rebuilt engines should have increased friction and usually will run hot until the rehoned surfaces get ‘used to’ each other, forming mating grooves.   This depending on whether the engine has new rings (should have) and rehoned cylinders (should have) and the engine wasn’t ‘run in’ by the rebuilders on the engine stand (this depends on how much you paid him).   Typically 2-5 hours is adequate to ‘run in’ an engine but the rpm & times depend on factors beyond discussion here.  Afterward requires oil and filter change (obviously).  Interrogate the rebuilder and assess/analyze his answers.  If a newly rebuild engine isn’t ‘run-in’ it may never regain that low friction condition until much later in life.   Materials used in newer engine designs with 200k mile life get around the ‘run-in’ necessity of 100k mile engines yet use less oil and actually are tighter (go figure).

Guys looking for a different perspective on this

My 512 doesn’t over heat but it runs warmer than normal

As you know it has a relatively new engine 16 k

So what do you guys out there think it could be

Fans come on and off at the right time but the static temp is now 190 195 which is way warmer than it was before

No leaks

My guess is that one of the 2 thermostats is sticking ?

It out there

Waiting for the responses
