I have a question,

If I want the motor to run at 175 - 185 would it be better to run a 160 ?

By the time the 160 opens and the motor has a time to level out with temperature. The motor will not run below 160. The temperatures in florida are usually hotter than cool.

And when a thermostat reads 160 i.e. does this mean that this is the opening temperature not the fully opened temperature.

I have been reading some FE overheat and have problems with cooling. I am trying to avoid this.

Please advise
