- Hi Steve: With some possible exceptions my guess is that the field experience you've had with Bj8 coolant temperatures - described in your posts to the list parts 1 & 2 - is typical. I wonder how man

- I am certainly not a thermodynamics expert, but my experience with Healeys and other British cars is consitent with Steve's the thermostat serves to bring the engine up to operating temp faster, but

- Thermostats set the low end of the temp range, and the amount allowed to flow through them can have an effect on the top end--depending on how well they flow while open. In Healeys I've always found

- I run three classics in the very hot tropical heat of Hong Kong, and my experience is as follows: 1) High coolant flow is important, but will not make a difference if the rest of your system is stock
