It works great cooling the water temps.



Please explain to us how a thermostat cools the water temperature...


Unless the ambient outside temperature is moderate a lower temperature thermostat will make little difference in engine operating temperature.

The cooling is done by the antifreeze's transfer ability (60/40 water/OAT) and the cooling system's efficiency. (radiator core size and fan size & programmed fan kick on temperature which is 216 & 224 )
