One thing I have learned about Flatheads....each one runs different temps. I have a three of them built the same and one always runs warmer. I have tried a several combinations and it always sits around the 220 to 230 area. Without stats 160 to 180 I have found stats make it worse so for me doing what Henry did is well worth the try it is only $15.00 (with shipping) and a little time. For 15 bucks I will hold off buying a case of beer and a headache the next morning.
