Just added a TEFBA filter and (its not blocked no) max now 102 at idle, but straight back to 100 once thermos do their thing. I think it is just the filter element, so no problems with that. If I go hard core offroading I will probably just remove the filter element, but because it does not go past 102, I suspect it will be fine just to leave it there too.

What is your ignition timing should be 4 BTDC without cats, if its too advanced you'll end up lifting the water temp.

No mechanical changes since new mate

Rest is electronic and out of my hands. Must have been a bit of air cause now she is running at 95 in same conditions that it was pulling 102. All good. Cheers
