Talking about thermostats, we have a 216ci which calls for a 180 degrees thermostat. Our engine runs hotter than we’d like. Would it hurt to use a let’s say 160 degree thermostat?
Installing a lower temperature t-stat in your area only means you'll have full flow to the radiator sooner, it won't help with a hot running engine. It might be time to service the cooling system and confirm everything is working correctly.
You didn't say, but how hot is it running and what temperature would you like it to be at?
