one hot savage
10/29/07 at 13:09:55

ok, I'm new to my savage an 86', I was wondering how do you know if the engine is running hot? The other day I started it up let it warm-up and noticed a hot smell. Also, some smoke coming from around the exhaust port. Is it ok? I cleaned the fins good but I know I need to replace that oil plug. How do you check the temp? Any insight would be great.

Thanks

Did your "idiot" like come on? You must be OK then... Mine always feels like it's running "hot". Other's can better answer the smoke issue, but I've seen smoke coming up in that area after I've added oil. Tends to spill in that area if you are not careful.

Other than that, get yourself a hand held ir meter at harbour freight.

Oh wait, that was me, sorry. Mine runs hot too, with a blue header to prove it. No worries, keep thumping.
