Yeah, that was my thought.

Besides that, I use a thermostat in my TR4.

I heated the water but It is still suspect.  Here in the Phoenix area it =
is the rare day that we really need to be concerned with ambient temps =
leading to prolonged engine warm up conditions. Lately I had noticed =
that when running for prolonged times at Freeway speeds (+75 at 3500 =
RPM) the temps would quickly reach +230 and if I jumped off the Freeway =
and moved at surface Street speeds of 45 even with Stop and Go =
streetlights within a mile or two the temps had dropped back to between =
210 and 220.

Should I look at using a 160 degree thermostat or just ditching one =
altogether?
