A Caterpillar see seven diesel engine will begin to overheat at a water temperature of 210 degrees. The recommended operating water temperature is 180 degrees.
The answer will depend on what engine it is and what it is being required to do.
The ambient air temperature sensor, on a Caterpillar see 13 diesel engine, is located between the air filter and the air intake on the engine. The sensor should be near the air filter.
The normal engine operating temperature, for a 3306 Caterpillar diesel engine, is 180 degrees. The engine should not be operated at temperatures above 200 degrees.
The engine will overheat and the pistons will seize.
If your engine thermostat sticks open it will run cooler on your temperature gauge and you won't see the temperature gauge go up to the point where your engine thermostat opens and then the temperature gauge will show a drop in temperature , your check engine light will probably come on , your gas mileage will be less , the heat from your heater probably won't get as hot If the engine thermostat were to stick in the closed position your engine will overheat ( but there are several other causes for an engine to overheat )
i asked this question the tempture gage shows it is over heating but the engine is cold to touch
The normal engine operating temperature for a 1987 Mustang GT is around 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Anything above 220 degrees Fahrenheit might cause the engine to overheat.
There is a warning light which flashes when the engine begins to overheat.
No
Loop B of the left engine. I recommend you study before a test.
Coolant is used to keep an engine in a vehicle at a temperature safe for operation. If no coolant is in the reservoir, an engine will not start.
Its just there to let you know that the engine is running at a normal temperature and isn't overheating. If your engine starts to overheat, you can tell then do something about it. Pull over and check, let it cool before proceeding to a garage, before it is too late and the engine is destroyed.
