[QUOTE="Jimmysidecarr, post: 3721665, member: 11681"] Excellent idea! Spark plugs can tell you a lot! I use a lighted hand held magnifier, that way you can get a good idea if coolant is going in the cylinder.(also good for detecting past detonation events--silver specs) There will be coloring on the insulator from the dye in the coolant. Is this a Gold or Green coolant car?? Most of the 160 T-stats I have seen are the wrong design type, and they have no block off valving for the bypass. So even though they open sooner at a lower temp, they allow hot bypassed coolant to continue to mix in with the cooled coolant from the rad. Which is why I did not change mine. I just drilled three 3/16" holes in the stocker and called it a day. That coupled with a fans on early tune did help. But I am ready to start upgrading to the more serious cooling mods because of my open tracking adventures. [/QUOTE]
