Hi Dave and Tom,
This is interesting because that is exactly the symptoms that I had but as you know Dave mine seemed to cure itslf when I changed the ignition coils.
Question Dave, although Tom has chocked open the Rad. grills how exactly does the "Sylphon" Stat work? Does it only open the Rad grill vents or does it also open up a bypass through to the engine block? Therefore if it is not working that could be still be causing a restriction or am I being to simplistic?
Mine is much better now although it still runs a bit above the figures you quoted me of approx. 160-165 degrees.
It will be interesting to find out how Tom solves this problem.
Regards
Terry
