[Healeys] Engine Temperature Info ??

[Rich Holman]

I also have a very early nearly original March 1957 BN4.   Put the thermostat
back in it.  I run a 160 in the summer and the temp runs around 170 - 185.   I
believe they need the thermostat.

My Healey is a very early 1957 100-6 BN4 with a 161 CID (2,639cc) 6cyl head
engine, manufactured in Longbridge.  I am in pursuit of engine temperature
information.  What is the acceptable  high temperature for this engine. 
After only a few miles my engine climbs to 190 degrees and tends to stay
around
there or drops down a little.   It might help to know that I have removed
the thermostat several months ago  (I live in southern CA).  I have a 2 blade
"X" fan.

Thanks in advance for any info.
