Howdy,
Looking for some confirmation about what should the exhaust manifold temps be? MEP-803A, the inner 2 ports are obviously higher than the outer ports. What is your sustained temp? In example, running at least 30 minutes with a load of 50% or greater, what temp do you have for the hottest on the exhaust manifold itself. Thank you.

I also need some ideas about the MEP-802A exhaust manifold temps.

I will gather my loaded temps and see what the average is.

thanks

I was finally able to run mine. Pulling right around 50% for 30 mins doors closed. Opened doors at 30 mins to take readings.

closest to fan 191
beside closet to fan 214

Howdy,
I think I need to run mine again.
I had (far left(closest to fan)) 540 deg next one over 594 deg, next one 590 deg, and last one 538 deg

I need to clarify that I shut off the load and quickly opened the doors to measure. If you were still pulling a load, it could make all the difference.
I watch the EGT's in my truck all the time and as soon as you let off the throttle they drop.
