How hot is HOT
Ford v10 (v8,v6) when water temp reaches a certain temp, half of the cylinders shut down into limp. What is the actual temp in degrees that this occurs?

Well the obvious answer is yes. But as many of them are, they measure resistance and display somewhere between C and H. As you may or may not know, a scan gage can be programed to display coolant temp in degrees. So my rather simple question was at what temperature IN DEGREES does a fail safe operation occur? As someone stated around 265. I did find a pic of a gage that was stenciled as 265 on the H side. Didn’t show the make of the vehicle though.
