really depends how many holes you have drilled... I usually recon on 3 done by a panel hole punch, then again I don't run a thermostat, so my temp gauge rarely moves at all...


Why aren't you running a thermostat john?


My engine seems to run better cold... well technically it's not cold, probably running about 60 degrees rather than 80.

I run a sleeve too.... while I'm stationary the temp will come up, but when on a run it'll go all the way down...
