16v running temp?

[sixteen vee]

took the Clacker out for a decent run this aft, noticed that the temp gauge was sitting between half & three quaurters with the oil temp at 106. Whats the norm temp on these & when should the fan kick in, is there a problem looming???

I'm sure someone will tell you to use the search function for this one!

sounds fine to me, my valver sits bang on the contre of the gauge, until sitting in traffic the it rises a tiny bit. Oil temp with std. driving is around 102-110, in traffic sometime gets up to 120, which is a bit high due to an old oil pump I suspect, but yours is fine.
