Port Side 200 efi cooler then starboard by 10 degrees F
Does the portside of the v6 naturally run a cooler then starboard? The Stb side dumps more water then the ports out the dump tubes from the head at idle . Motor has 143 stats. Using heat gun at various locations for the readings.

As long as you are within the operating temperature range it shouldnt matter too much. What were your actual temps?

pretty normal for stbd cylinder head to run a little warmer because it's higher up and heat rises to the highest point. Not an issue as long as temps are in the right range.
