lower engine operating temperature. 700 1990

posted by  someone claiming to be Steve Coleman on  Mon Aug 20 19:24 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I just installed a 160 degree thermostat in a b230ft. Just wondering if there are any possible problems with that. Stock is 191, I think.

Will the cold start injector stay on?

What about increased piston ring wear because the combustion chamber metal will not expand as much at 160 deg like it does at 191 deg?

thanks guys!

-Steve
