guys,

I drilled my factory one to get it to run at consistent 175-180.....

well the dam thing runs too cold now.

130s-140s on a 45* day.

I can PayPal, but need it pretty quick, getting tuned Tuesday.

I think 1 small hole will do what I want, not 4. .... lol.

I still have my factory thermo in my garage if you want it. Could next day it to you.

....knee dragger... PayPal me your address, and I'll get you some shipping cash. THANKS....

Grrrr8... holes were smaller than pencil erasers...

with these motors, I think? they need to run a little hotter.... around 175-185 for max efficiency.......

I just wanted to just keep it around that......I don't like seeing 195* in the 30-40* weather...in summer that would be hotter.

??????????? I did such a nice neat job too, can't believe those little holes did so much. LOL

another thing, I had to force the stat, and housing in about the last
1/8 inch...and tighten... is that right?
