The t-stat is a last resort mod as I said earlier. I had a car that I did everything to and it just would not run cool. Did the mod and would run a solid 82 celcius in the hottest weather and never did overheat again.

In the winter I just slid a piece of cardboard between the radiator and condensor and it warmed up fast and ran a perfect 82 also.

Who knows why it works so good, but it does.
