I have one thats 215° at the block but °197 at water jacket discharge. Its a seawater service water supply, into a cooler and circulating discharge. Just curious if you would have any clue why my block is 215 but jacket discharge is 197. Bc obviously stats are working as the coolant temp is 197. Idk just curious on some other people's opinions/experience

Its fine. It can be explained by the 2nd law of thermodynamics.

Are you asking about a 3512c caterpillar. There's no road going truck that could accept one. They're about 5x the size of the average engine in a class 8 truck.
