LME 160 Tstat, Aeroforce gauge


Recommended Posts

Hey need a favor guys,  Any of you running the LME 160tstat and Aeroforce gauge, could you see what temps you are running at.  I came home this morning, outside temp was 26 degrees and coolant was running in the 180's with the lowest begin 177.  Seems way high for running a 160tstat.  Thought I would ask before I pulled it out and check it out in hot water.

 

Thanks

I was kinda surprised when I found out that a 160 thermostat doesn't make the engine run at 160....so I am really glad that I took LME's suggestion of replacing the stock thermostat with the 160. I was also impressed with the quality of the new thermostat from Livernois!

Firstly, thank you for the compliments! The thermostat will not keep everything that 160°. We are opening the tstat at 160° as opposed to the factory ~178°. So cooling starts earlier.

 

Ford does power testing at ~140°, so all that we are doing is getting you as close we can while keeping the creature comforts of a modern vehicle.

I generally run in the mid 180s to low 190s with the LME 160 Stat. Also, I have been told (by others with no skin in the game  - my dealer - NOT LME), that the LME 160 stat is a very high quality T-Stat.  I don't notice any longer heater warm up times either.
