Ok, so we know that excessive heat/ poor cooling can be an issue with the m96 engine. There also seems to be consensus for the 160 t-stat over the factory 180. A trick we used to use with Chevy drag car engines was to remove the spring and plug from a t-stat, creating a restrictor plate. Running without a t-stat wasn't so effective because the coolant moved too quickly through the engine to accumulate heat, but with the plate, it did the job and the engine stayed cool. How about this for the M96? I know the heater won't be very warm afterwards, but for a racer, I don't really care about that. Thoughts??
