Bank to Bank Temperature Differential
I just purchased a good temp gun and finding all sorts of uses for it. I discovered that my right bank runs 15 to 20 degrees cooler than the left with and engine temp of 150 and oil at 200. I just rebuilt the motor and everything has been flushed and cleaned thoroughly. I am running a crossover with a bypass and thermostat that's been drilled. Has anyone else experienced this? How is the temp balance when using a circulation pump? Has anyone tried a high performance electric circulation pump?

If by bank, you mean cylinder bank, mine run within a few dgrees of each other. However, my exhaust manifolds run 15-20 degrees different from side to side. I did a search when i discovered that, and it seems to be pretty common for manifolds to differ.

Has anyone tried a high performance electric circulation pump or restrictors on the cold side? I am measuring the temperature differential on the front of the cylinder head to get the most accurate read. I pushing this motor pretty hard and don't want to ruin my fresh rebuild by detonation.
