Anything that runs the cold will lead to problems in the engine, true, too hot is bad but warmer than 140 is needed to get out all the condensation out. In a perfect world - about 210 is perfect, most NASCAR and engine builders try to get right at the magic boiling point to burn out all water that has condensed. I would think you might even get a bit higher than the 170, but then again, that is the point it starts to open. An engine that runs at a higher temp is more efficient too.Thanks for that part number, but I am searching for the Super Standt equivalant so that the engine will operate at a higher temperature.
I understand that they are available in various settings, so that a 170 degree part seems to be the answer.
My dealer reports that "they all run cold"..not the answer I was hoping for.
