ok my thermo guage reads 160 at lowest and like 240 at highest.. so i dont understand? will the 160 thermo keep my car temp actually at the lowest temp it reads on my car? isnt this not good for the engine? wouldnt the fan be pretty much constantly running to keep the engine that cool? im not understanding here...

The thermostat is a thermo-controlled valve.
What you're doing is allowing coolant to flow at 160F, instead of 195F, through the radiator. Since the radiators we have are extremely small and inefficient, they tend to not keep the temp of the engine at the temp the thermostat opens (or near it) and require a lot of wind (highspeed fans, 50mph driving) to keep the coolant at whatever temp the thermostat is.
It will not damage the car, the fans will not run ny different since the PCM doesn't adjust with the thermostat unless reprogrammed, but yes it will run about 165-170 when cruising down the highway or should [img]smile.gif[/img] With a good fan switch you can keep it in that range when idling around town.2002 5-spd NBM Camaro
