first of all...the whole viscosity thing was not what I was going with...i thought that mobil 1 could overall be a better oil.

and second why wouldnt keeping the engine cover off help? it has so much padding thats touching the engine itself and keeping all that heat built up in there. now that its off more air flows through the engine bay and the heat can actually go somewhere.

have you actually ever taken off your engine cover?

I think you should actually do before you speak...you havent even tried it and already talking trash.

Just go try it and if it doesnt work then obviously its something to do with my e85 flash...dont know if cobb flashes can actually control the readings of temps, but maybe.
