proper engine temp. (was Heater Core Problems on 1989 90)

[Brady Moffatt]

Hi All,

What coolant temps are you getting, and what do you feel is proper? My 4kq
seems to run at an indicated 105 in summer, and anywhere from 85-105 in
winter, depending on conditions. I now have a high-tech piece of cardboard
blocking part of the rad, and I get better heat. I already had an 87-92
t-stat.

Cheers,
Brady Moffatt
