I guess I’m a bit thick headed but I don’t understand what is wrong with 180* engine temps? An engine when warmed up is going to operate at what ever temp it wants to run at regardless of what thermostat is installed. Take the radiator cap off and start the engine and let it warm up. If you see water moving in the radiator your pump is just fine. Non existent problem. IMHO
