I would like to go back to Steve Byers=E2=80=99 comment. I am not so =
much concerned about my car overheating. When the engine was rebuilt it =
was thoroughly cleaned to get rid of all sludge. I run an aluminum =
radiator, have built and installed air ducting for improved flow. I do =
not have an electric fan.=20
=20
My problem was that my engine ran cool and would take quite a while to =
=E2=80=9Cwarm up.=E2=80=9D I think I was using a 165 degree (or =
thereabouts) non-sleeved thermostat. Robert Shaw as I recall. So I =
wanted to get my engine up to 185-190 degrees sooner. I went with one of =
the same AC sleeved thermostats 82 degrees centigrade from Kees that =
Steve used. The engine seems to be much happier and gets to running temp =
more quickly.
=20
At least for my engine, a 160-165 degree thermostat keeps things cool =
too long. In a perfect world I would prefer David Nock=E2=80=99s bellows =
thermostat but with a 185-190 degree opening. Since that doesn=E2=80=99t =
seem to be available I think I will stick with the AC unit and keep my =
eye on the temp. Gauge.

I am no authority on this. I am simply passing along my experience Am I =
understanding all of this correctly?=20

week but now I just have to say. When the sleeved thermostats went NLA, =
about 45 years ago, we resorted to installing just plain old Stant 175 =
degree stats and guess what ... not one complaint or comment on running =
hotter or overheating and absolutely no sign of any symptoms of =
overheating on my own BJ8 even in the hottest of ambient temperatures. =
It just didn't happen!!! Just sayin'. M=20
