Default Re: Cool Running

Vintage Percision housing with 160 thermostat and Berg Radiator. have run 4,000 miles no issues.

Warms up quickly in winter maintains 160 deg. Summer even on hot days over 95 deg engine runs between 170 -185 deg. Have not lost a drop of coolant either.

Thermostats were perfected and started going into production cars in 1932.
Henry was building 400 dollar cars and was not concerned about engine longevity or fuel economy. He wanted to sell more cars not make classics out of them.
