I am preparing to back flush my cooling system and I want to replace my thermostat when I do.
My '94 has the standard 193 degree stat.
I have seen that a cooler 160 degree stat is supposed to increase the efficiency of the engine.
As I understand it, the 193 degree stat is for the purpose of reducing emissions. That is not a problem where I live. However, and HERE IS MY QUESTION, will installing the lower temp. stat cause any kind of build up in any of the other systems related to the engine?
I'm not looking for any more horsepower, but if a lower operating temp. is good for the engine and may promote a longer life, I'm all for it.
I look forward to your experienced advice.
Thanks,
