If the stat is already a 180 which is may or may not be, I can only go down to a 160 right?? There is nothing between a 160 and a 180 stat is there?? I have been told that a 160 stat would never close and would alway be open which would cause it to over heat. The water would never stay in the radiator enough to cool>>>>?????
