- What are the outside temps where you drive the car? I have a 180 in mine (BJ8) and drive in Western Pa--where temps are moderate (at least in the summer). I run around 198 - 200 consistently. In the

- Sometimes the temperature sending unit is not located at the hottest part of the engine. I fitted a 160 degree wide mouth thermostat to the BN3 as the sending unit is located in the top of the radia

- Because in the tropical heat of Hong Kong & running through the windy mountain roads, if I ran a 180 degree thermostat the car would boil over all the time. The car needs a 160 deg. thermostat ... i
