So, a friend and I have this bet about thermostats. He says if you run a "cooler" stat (160 degree), your engine will not get as hot as it would with a 180 degree. My contention is that, assuming a 100 degree day, once the stat is open, the engine temp will rise to it's "normal" operating temp regardless of the "lower rated" thermostat and would not run "cooler". What say you?
