    Overcooling problem.

    Hello.
    I seem to be having an overcooling problem
    while at freeway speeds. I'm wondering if this
    seems normal? I see temps as low as 160 cruising.

    If I stay at low speeds it'll reach normal operating temps 195-200.
    It also takes a good while longer to get to temps compared to the
    old m20.

    Running no fan btw.

    Could be the thermostat, but could be normal?
    I know with the m20 it would reach 190 pretty quick and would
    never go under 189.

    All opinions welcomed.


    One more thing. When it overheats goes to 210 (from a stop) I just drive for maybe
    1 minute and I see it go down to 195!

    Thermostat stuck open occasionally, or it doesn't close when the temperature goes down ?
