My 94' Camaro is overheating!

When I start him up, its no smoke at all. But when I turn the car off it starts smoking from the engine a little bit. Whats wrong?

Here a pic of the oil temp while I'm driving.


Here's my engine, it has been rebuilt

Well, first off, that gauge is the oil pressure, not the oil temp. And that is way too high for the oil pressure.

Ok......so how do I bring that down to normal? Also my gauges read "LOW OIL", could this be the problem?

Yea thats step one, check your oil. If its low add oil or better yet change your filter/oil. Drive it and then check to see if it still occurs.

Seafoam is a product. You can find it at most auto parts stores, directions are on the back of the can.
