Chevrolet: 92 Corvette water temperature, air temp, corvettes


Question
92 corvette LT1 no modifications  When I run on the highway and it's 85 air temp the water temp is 195-201 degrees  Slow driving in town it goes up to 245 degrees.  Is this normal or is something wrong?
Thanks John

Answer
Make sure that the fan is working. It should turn on around 229 degrees. The Corvettes always seam to run a little hotter than everything else because of the poorly designed front end. It restricts the air flow across the radiator. It should still only run around 220-230.
