Why do any of you think you can improve on the specifications of these motors? The Ford engineers had decades of experience with engine temperature. It is 180*
There is more to engine temperature than a warm cab.
Thank you, HIO.

correct direction
Hi all,
I am surprised that nobody so far has warned about putting the thermostat in backwards. I learned the hard way by doing it wrong. I think these FE's lead one to think it's going in correctly when it's really backwards....and a backwards thermostat can cause big headaches as well.
cheers,

Many people have done this the same thing as you, a common mistake.
This is why, I recommend to most guys that come to site to buy a motor manual that covers the Fe motors..
A many guys go to youtube to find all the info they need and don't want to spring loose with any bucks to buy one.
So some learn the hard way.
