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.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Should I look at using a 160 degree thermostat or just ditching one altogether?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:blue'><a href="http://www.microworks.net/"><span style='text-decoration:none'><image001.jpg></span></a><span class=MsoHyperlink><span style='text-decoration:none'><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Dave Riddle</span></b><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Business IT Consulting<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Office: 480-610-8234<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>eMail: <a href="mailto:dave@microworks.net">dave@microworks.net</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Website: <a href="http://www.microworks.net/">http://www.microworks.net</a><o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><a href="https://partner.microsoft.com/en-US/"><span style='color:windowtext;text-decoration:none'><image002.png></span></a><span class=MsoHyperlink><span style='color:windowtext;text-decoration:none'><o:p></o:p></span></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:blue'><a href="https://www.acronis.com/en-us/"><span style='text-decoration:none'><image003.png></span></a><span class=MsoHyperlink><span style='text-decoration:none'><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:blue'><a href="https://www.clio.com/"><span style='text-decoration:none'><image004.png></span></a><span class=MsoHyperlink><span style='text-decoration:none'><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><a href="https://www.citycommunications.com/"><span style='color:windowtext;text-decoration:none'><image005.png></span></a><span class=MsoHyperlink><span style='color:windowtext;text-decoration:none'><o:p></o:p></span></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>_______________________________________________<br><a href="mailto:fot@autox.team.net">fot@autox.team.net</a><br><br><a href="http://www.fot-racing.com">http://www.fot-racing.com</a><br><br>Donate: <a href="http://www.team.net/donate.html">http://www.team.net/donate.html</a><br>Archive: <a href="http://autox.team.net/archive">http://autox.team.net/archive</a> <a href="http://www.team.net/pipermail/fot">http://www.team.net/pipermail/fot</a><br>Unsubscribe/Manage: <a href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/fot/vfracing@aol.com">http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/fot/vfracing@aol.com</a><o:p></o:p></p></div></blockquote></div></body></html>
