It's easy to just do a search on here - but you'll need to spell chimaera right wink
Yours will be a serp engine, so 30ish when hot and at idling seems to be the norm, but the gauges can be inaccurate plus it will depend on the oil viscosity.
Mines a 97/98 4 litre serp and will drop just below 30 when stinking hot and idling using valvoline 20/50, but is up around 40/50 or more when hot and on the move - I think that's about typical for these engines.
