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?

Or is it sloppy not give a ****?
Neither. The american consumer is the epitome of "run to the dealer under warranty if something isn't 'normal'."
So the engineers made the gauges read "normal" at almost all times.
Do you know the amount of forum posts I have seen across all makes where someone asks "my temp gauge usually reads just below this tic mark on the gauge, but today it began reading on that tic mark... what do you think is wrong with my engine?"
Nope. We'll just call it "normal" and everyone will b happy, right? Well, everyone who doesn't care about the technical side... those of us wanting actual answers need to use a scangauge or install a second set of gauges that give us the actual information we seek.
