Stainless Thermostat Kits For S/B Or B/B Chevy & 455 Olds
|
|
Thermostat kits are for Small Block and Big Block Chevy and 455 Olds. We found the majority of marine engines, particularly in jet boat applications, run far too cold to obtain proper combustion temperature, power out, economy and engine life. Most engines are designed to run at a minimum of 160 degrees water temperature for proper performance. This thermostat system is designed for use on cold water source cooling systems. It will keep engine temperature between 160 and 190 degrees which is the most desirable temperature range obtained. The temperature will cycle up to 30 degrees within this range, due to cold water entering the system once the thermostat opens. We do not recommend this system be used on supercharged or turbocharged engines which run for long periods of time at maximum or near maximum power output. We do not recommend this system be used in extremely sandy areas - sand build up can interfere with proper operation of the thermostat.
