[STICKY] Operating temperature vs power and longevity!
Operating temperature vs power and longevity!

"by Steve Jack
HOTRODSRJ@AOL.COM

A few of you good folks must have spotted other articles that I have done either in print or online about this subject. At the request of a few folks here I am putting this up for what it's worth and expanding some information about this as well. The argument is about running 160 degree thermostats and the good and/or bad results. Now keep in mind that thermostats have absolutely NO effect on your systems ability to cool, simply a regulator of the range it operates in. So, if you think a 160 will cure an engine running at 220 with a 180 thermostat...forgetaboutit! This is not about cooling capacity at all."

However wrote this contradicts the above statement about a thremostat having no effect on your systems ability to cool at least 3 time in the article.
