Taken from Tridon website, "Tridons range of high flow thermostats are designed to improve cooling system performance. The high flow thermostat has a larger valve allowing approximately 30% more coolant flow, eliminating the need to use a cooler temperature thermostat."It's also listed as a 91'c in the details on the item.

TomT Spooling Member Donating Members 961 Member For: 13y 8d Gender: Male Location: Blue Mountains, NSW Posted 04/12/14 05:57 AM Share Posted 04/12/14 05:57 AM (edited) Is there an issue with running a cooler thermostat? ie engine doesn't get to operating temp?I bought the project I'm working on at the moment and it has one installed because it was from Townsville. I live in Sydney West, should I throw a stock one back in or not worry? Edited 04/12/14 05:59 AM by TomT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once the coolant is over 95 which it usually is for me, it makes little difference as the thermostat will be open regardless of temp rating.Can't hurt putting a new one in though.They have been known to fail and are a cheap part to replace, but crucial for 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
