Just picked up 2002 227 with GXI 8.1

[Big Block Power]

Also what temps are your 8.1's running 140 160 or 170?

[cmattj]

Good info.. my serial is 4012096964
But she runs 170.. maybe it's been updated ( plus it closed cooling?)

[Big Block Power]

Mine runs 140 I need to change it. It was a interesting find one day I was playing around on the web.

[cmattj]

I guess as long as oil temp gets to 170 it's fine?
Do miss that gauge along with .. yes Aslan.. water pressure..

I wasn't in a big hurry to change it this year. The oil gets changed every year anyways and I only put 25 hours on it anyways. Plus I figured it's lasted 15 years it's prob not going to cause the engine to go now.lol

[cmattj]

Yes yearly changes the game.. no time for any moisture

I'm still terrified with out it... I told you I wait until I hear the change in CC and watch the water flow out every outing.. I know they have alarms but I'm weird
