Alright...tough question.

What is the normal operating temperature in our car in farenheit? The norm is like 180 degrees, but does anyone know for sure? Thanks.

Good question, my gauge is always 1-2mm below the icon.

normal operating temperature for the car's engine if vtec is 192 degrees, I tested this with an industrial digital temperature gauges that registers in thousandth's of a degree....actually 192.64 [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG] but anyway...dood, think about what you said....600-800 degrees?? maybe at the extreme outside of the exhaust manifold MAYBE on a stock honda engine but not 600-800 degrees....water boils at 212 degrees fahrenheit....an orange flame on a fire is 415 degrees fahrenheit....if the engine operated at an underhood temperature of 600-800 degrees then if you were sitting in traffic then essentially all the wiring underhood would melt, the coolant would boil over, the gas would pressurize and burst the fuel rail, the paint on the hood and bumpers would melt....it's just not feasable man.....think before you speak or at least learn some thermodynamics and physics....
