Cooling Your Hot Rod Thermostat
|
The thermostat maintains engine temperature by opening or closing to control the flow rate of the coolant. Make sure yours is in good condition and always replace it after overheating, as it may subsequently stick. Most are rated to open at 180 degrees F, but this high-flow copper and brass Milodon example from Summit Racing opens at 160 degrees F. Its balanced sleeve design equalizes pressure exerted on the thermostat from a high-flow water pump. View Related Article
