Yeah, old T-stat was stuck open for sure.

I have no idea why the hell it was a gallon light on coolant when I got it back. They really effed me around this time. I had been very happy with them until now, but not so much anymore. They also managed to knock my timing out because the forgot to tighten the distro clamp.

Oh, the radiator is maybe 4 years old, and the FC is old, but I know it's in pretty good shape because you can really hear the fan roar when you accelerate. If anything, the fan clutch isn't slipping enough....

Anyway, I am pretty much DONE with them at this point.

But that 80c you're talking about, that I'm used to... Is that documented anywhere? Already there is somebody saying 93.3C is normal.

Can anyone actually cite a source for this?

Thanks very much!
