I belive the reason mine is running hotter is the stat. I did a flow test at 2200 rpms and it did not flow out the open cap after the stat opened when up to temp but I did see water flowing. It will warm up to 160 in about 3-4 minuits then it jumps right up to 190 and the stat opens and it drops to 160 and rises back to 190 and drops again holding it at 2,200 rpms sitting still. It will keep doing this cycle. The radiator can cool it but the stat won't let it? Must be the stat is staying closed to much or not opening right to let the coolent flow good. I will replace the new one for another. Now dose anyone know what number the 160s are? I tried to get one at Napa and they did not find one, only 180s. Also do they still sell the ones like they had in the eary years that had the dome going into the cover and not flat? It appears the dome one has a opening to go into the bypass hose/port and another opening into the upper hose outlet. Sorry for so many questions on the cooling system but I did not get this answered befor. Thanks, Mark H.
