Stock, Ive always had cool running motors. I run with 180* T-stats with about a 3/16" hole tapped in the flange (I hate burping), coolant changes yearly (because Im anal...not that it needs it), new radiators....and I suppose the fact that EB recut the water passages in the block may have something to do with it as well. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Guess it would have helped to mention that in the beginning huh? Absolutely no problems getting my baby warmed up in the morning...just stays nice and cool. The highest its gotten on me is about 1/3" gauge and that was sitting on the I5-Hwy16 interchange in 95* weather idling for 2 hours.
