1700X/flow query POBC Got one Thanks.

[Johnty Lyons]

What is the preferred Stat for a 1700 super sprint My associate has one and the stat does not appear to open until temp is just over 100 I think that is high but am prepared to be wrong. Having great diifficulty getting a 74 at moment QH no longer do it Neither do Burton Any Pointers??

From memory I think it as around 74deg 🤔

 

X/flows don't like temperatures around 100

[Drumster]

Always used a 74 deg thermostat in my x/flow as recommended by Roger King

I have some notes here at home that suggest Roger King recomended a 74 deg stat, which was a Quinton Hazell part QTH101K . Not sure if they still produce it though.

 

Also try Burtonpower as they may well still do a stat in that temp range

Yes, 74 Johnty.

 

They have a habit of sticking in the shut position so a lot of us have drilled a small hole so that there is some water flow even if that happens.

 

Is the gauge working OK?

Ford used to sell an 88 stat to INCREASE the coolant temp in cars that were generally used in cool conditions, so you want to be nearer 80n than 100.

WTF do you get a 74.

Redline Components have them on the shelf and will mail one out rapidly.

Is your colleague absolutely sure his system is running at 100C? I have had lots of indication problems- almost solved now but throughout the temperatures of the actual cooling system have been correct. Check using an IR thermometer.
