Reply to "A Fact about Running without a Thermostat"

Water temp isn't the significant issue. Oil temp is. It must be brought up high enough to boil off the water.

Some oil thermostats used with oil coolers are set to open at 188° F. I think that is a little too low simply because water boils at 212°F.

This is the consideration at hand here and consider that temperature when you decide to install oil coolers and the like. The fact of the matter is that many are over cooling the engine and will eventually have issues oil related.

As far as the "water", the Pantera's system is one of the first high pressure/temperature systems that we see in that era here in the US.

If you accurately measured temps start to exceed 240°F, then that should be looked at and a course of action decided upon.

I am pretty sure that the Mangustas were delivered new with no thermostats.
