Subject:Thermostat - 80 vs 86 degree
From:Roy Mellor

Volks,

I plan on replacing the waterpump on my 85 Westy GL (75k miles) over the
Thanksgiving vacation (one of its gaskets is leaking). What are the
benefits of using an 80 vs 86 (stock) degree thermostat?

I ordered the 80 degree one thinking cooler is better. Does anyone care
to comment on this. TIA.
