[QUOTE=jmatta]Do your car a favor and install the 160 degree thermostat.QUOTE]

Help me out here, I don't understant the advantage of having a thermostat that opens at 160F. Always thought the thermostat allows the engine to warm up more quickly by restricting some of the coolant from circulating in the system. Once that temp is reached (be it 160 or 185) the thermostat opens and have no control over the final normal operating temp. Thanks.
