I have been running with out thermo stats for some time and thinking of putting them back in. with a laser temp gun my engine runs at 160 degrees and never hotter, sometimes cooler, with this temp I am thinking its not getting hot enough to cook the slug and other bad stuff out of the engine .......any thoughts on running a cool engine for long periods?
