I wish the bloody rattler would run like that ......

running too cold is worse than running too hot , it must be bypassing somewhere

I was under the impression that holden reds had thermostats ranging from 72deg to 82deg. Although the optimum operating temp for a late model engine is 90deg I quite often wonder if its worthwhile chasing this temperature on an old engine.
The cooling systems of late engines are very well designed in both volume and movement and do accomodate the 90 deg pinnacle, something thay may be lacking in the red dinosour.
I know one thing, you can drive home cool but you can't when the radiator is a volcano !

Yes it’s definitely a first world problem Greg. I will try a new thermostat at some point. Lucky I’ve got an O-ring type upper housing.
