[QUOTE="jm@ReischePerf, post: 8012673, member: 48129"] Actually 180* is probably an ideal ECT for most engines, problem is our 4V engines use a different cold-side thermostat setup. Because a relatively low number of vehicles share this application with us there isn't much available from the aftermarket that actually fits the bypass. Ford calls the stock Terminator stat (RT1168) a 180* but it opens very slowly and must reach temps well above 190* before it flows much coolant. I called my stat a 170* because this is the ECT at which the stat starts to open, however it also opens faster than the OEM. [/QUOTE]
