Water temp

[Brandon Rogers]

Thanks for the info, guys.  Have you heard of this being the culprit very
often when the T-stat is new.  I put a new 87C T-stat in when I put the
motor in the car.  that was this summer and the car has been very consistent
temp-wise.  Which I consider a good thing....

Phil P mentioned an afterrun pump running when it's not suppsoed to.  This
would make sense but my AR pump is unplugged due to a goof on my part.  So
that isn't my issue....

Thanks-

Brandon
