going to PM you about that T-stat staying open mod.... very interested in that.
What happened at 5K? you got kind of rich there? Is that wideband's reading? or a tail sniffer?
I forgot are you tuning with a VAF2?

lol. The dip looks severe on the graph but if you look at it, its only a drop from 14.0 to 13.5, still within that good range. I do that on purpose, like to keep it a tad bit richer up top (preference). Also, this was a sniffer wideband, and from my experience with this shop, it reads lean by ~.4. So If you see 14.0, its really more like 13.6:1. And I use an SAFC1.
No need for PM, Jime himself had it on a post, I just cant find it. Check it. Remove your water outlet. Notice the plunger from the T-stat goes into a hole at the side of the water outlet neck (you have to have it in your hand to know what Im talkin about). Now seperate the Tstat from the housing (careful it doesnt fly off and catch your eye). Now's when it gets cool, get a drill bit or something, cut it to a length of about ~1/8". smouth out the cut so its nice and flat. Now, insert THAT into the hole on the water oulet, re-isntall the T-stat making sure that the plunger's rod sits level pushing against that part you just added. Once the Tstat is on tight, make sure the plunger isnt at an angle and has no play. If its good, put it back on, enjoy ~20-30*F cooler running motor :-D. Add some water wetter while you're at it. Cheap insurance.
