I don't find it odd that the engine had to be removed and tore down with less than 200k miles since it had an improperly setup cooling system.

We never had a complaint about a reduction in fuel economy or a power loss either.

Thats because customers that take their car to somebody to be repaired rarely keep records of fuel economy and wouldn't notice 2-3mpg less.

Since both a 60°C and 85°C thermostat is available, I would suggest the 'correct' device is the one that gives you the most satisfactory heater performance, based on your climatic conditions.

"Suggest" all you want, that doesn't make it the correct choice.
