[Healeys] radiator thermostat

[Ken]

I've used a 185 for 40 years all year round. It's good for the heater at night. It might compensate a little for the lack of a sleeve too.Ken Freese 65 bj8Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone

I've searched the tech articles and can find nothing that specifically answers that question. This summer my BJ8 seemed to run fine with a 160 thermostat which, according to the gauge which I've checked and found to be accurate, kept the coolant at around 165. Thanks to all who respond.rich antal_______________________________________________Support Team.Net http://www.team.net/donate.htmlSuggested annual donation  $12.75Archive: http://www.team.net/pipermail/healeys http://autox.team.net/archive/healeysHealeys@autox.team.nethttp://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/healeysUnsubscribe/Manage: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/healeys/rmarkovich@aol.com
