While somewhat related to this topic of thermostats I have an early BN6 =
with the temperature gauge in the top of the rad. It is a bit =
discomforting to see no temperature reading in cooler weather until the =
thermostat opens up. The block appears to have the same hole where 3000s =
have their temperature gauge. If I acquired a 3000 temp gauge would =
the sensor end fit in there?

Steve,
Yes agree with your take on the 160 F thermostats. The only possible =
benefit is that if you start with a lower coolant temp, when you hit =
traffic, it will take longer before the dreaded over temp zone is =
approached.
As an aside, I have installed an oil temp gauge; very useful and a =
reminder just how long the engine (not coolant) takes to get up to temp. =

Fred, I personally believe a 160-deg. F thermostat used in an effort to =
"cool down" a Healey is useless. A thermostat responds only to the =
temperature of the coolant flowing through it by opening up to increase =
coolant flow, and once it is open all the way at 160+, it is out of the =
loop and can't open further to cool more. I am on the NC coast where =
winters are mild. I once tried a 160 (non-sleeved) because I had one =
that someone gave me. My BJ8 ran so cold that winter that I actually =
had to block part of the radiator to raise it to anywhere near normal. =
Up there in the NC mountains, that would be even more of a problem for =
you.
I use a 187 F (86 C) New Old Stock AC sleeved thermostat (AC part number =
1572320) that I was able to score from lister Kees Oudesluijs. I =
installed it along with an upgraded core in the radiator at the same =
time, so I can't really say how much improvement the thermostat alone =
did; but since the modification my car runs consistently at 170 - 180 in =
the hot summers of the NC coast, except when in stop-and-go traffic when =
it might make it to 190 or a bit above. In winter, it runs at 160 - =
170. I can see the sleeve operate as the car warms up because the gauge =
will cycle between 160 and 190 until coolant temperature stabilizes. =
That can take up to 50 miles.
A friend placed an order later with Kees for several of the 190 F =
sleeved thermostats. I got one of those as a spare. Don't know if he =
has any left, or can get more. As far as I know, the only sleeved =
thermostats available from the usual suspects are 160s and I wouldn't =
waste my money on them.
I just Googled the AC part number and came up with this source:
https://tinyurl.com/y9c6n53h
Unfortunately, it does not post to the USA (but on the bright side, it =
offers free shipping!). Maybe you could work out a deal with a UK =
lister to buy one for you and ship it to you. =C2=A319.99 =3D $26.04=20

Listers,

I have researched what I can of the archives and other sources and am =
still puzzled. I cannot find any real answers and direction on the =
question of which thermostat I should use in my 66 BJ8. Some answers =
indicate a sleeved thermostat and others say no sleeve. Some say a =
short sleeve and others say only the long sleeve works. Some answers =
indicate using a 160 degree thermostat while others propose 180 degrees =
and even 190 degrees. Some even say the Moss sleeved thermostat does =
not work.
=20
I am in North Carolina and drive the car most of the year. Right now =
the car has a non sleeved 190 degree thermostat. The car starts and =
needs to warm up, at idle, to almost full temp before it runs with no =
problems. Otherwise it spits, coughs and has no power. The car runs at =
about 190 degres except when I drive the mountains and of course stop =
and go traffic.
=20
What is the consensus of thoughts as we approach colder weather? And =
what are the sources and manufacturer for a good thermostat?

Thanks for the help,

used in an effort to "cool down" a Healey is useless. A =
thermostat responds only to the temperature of the coolant flowing =
through it by opening up to increase coolant flow, and once it is open =
all the way at 160+, it is out of the loop and can't open further to =
cool more. I am on the NC coast where winters are mild. I =
once tried a 160 (non-sleeved) because I had one that someone gave =
me. My BJ8 ran so cold that winter that I actually had to block =
part of the radiator to raise it to anywhere near normal. Up there =
in the NC mountains, that would be even more of a problem for =
you.</span><span style=3D'color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p =

thermostat (AC part number 1572320) that I was able to score from lister =
Kees Oudesluijs. I installed it along with an upgraded core in the =
radiator at the same time, so I can't really say how much improvement =
the thermostat alone did; but since the modification my car runs =
consistently at 170 - 180 in the hot summers of the NC coast, except =
when in stop-and-go traffic when it might make it to 190 or a bit =
above. In winter, it runs at 160 - 170. I can see the sleeve =
operate as the car warms up because the gauge will cycle between 160 and =
190 until coolant temperature stabilizes. That can take up to 50 =
miles.</span><span style=3D'color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p =
