Percolation? Heat soak? Don't drive during summer??

The 160 won’t help. It sets the minimum temp before the thermostat opens.

Max temperature is controlled by coolant flow, air flow, air temperature and probably 1 or 2 things I’m forgetting.

I’m all for a 160 thermostat. Just not for the reason you want it.

Ok, well I dont mind changing the thermostat, it wouldn't hurt it to try if I needed to do it. I can buy some and see what happens.

Here's some pictures of my cooling system... when I started changing the cooling system parts it looked as if the cooling system had never been changed, it was nasty...

The radiator is "brand new" but it was actually damaged when it was sent to another member here. Cold case couldn't take it back, so the member gave it to me and I gave my stock radiator to another member on FABO so they could get their car up and running.
