[QUOTE="GT Premi, post: 15612698, member: 121775"] I don't know if that's entirely true. I like to check my temps after a drive every now and then just to see how my cooling system is performing. I have a 170* t-stat. I don't have anything to take any internal measurements, so I use a laser pointer and spot check different places on the engine. I left the engine running after a drive one time and checked the temps of the outside of the heads and the valley. Each one was plumb dead on 170*. I would imagine after a while the fluid and the metal reach equilibrium. So, whether you're reading the fluid or the metal it cools, the temps should read the same. Killer Chiller! The only times I ever experience heat soak is the first few minutes after it's been parked after being driven for a while and if I'm driving around without the A/C compressor running, which is almost never. The negative effect on cabin cooling is minimal. Just bump the temp down 1 or 2 more degrees, and you'll be fine. [/QUOTE]
