Are you sure that's a true Cleveland t-stat at 160F?

One thing I never understood (and would be happy to hear explanation on) is the rationale of running a 160F t-stat when the fans are set to turn on at 185. Plus 160 if it can be attained IMO is too cold for most engines.

On the original theme of this thread we used the Harbor Freight equivalent of the Airlift at a tech session at Mike Drew's last weekend.

Hooked it up to the compressor and it pulled a vacuum, drop the suction tube into the coolant can and let it pull coolant into the system. Repeat until system is full. Apparently Harbor Freight no longer sell them.
