Subject: Re: automatic radiator slats
more about radiator slats: I tried my refurbished system yesterday but my thermostat opens to late, as the block of my car has probably to much local deposits (I cleaned behind the sideplates but I think also waterways in the head are partially blocked) it boils earlyer than normal and the standard thermostat is to late. So the slats have to stay always open until there will be a total overhaul of the engine or I have to find a thermostat that opens earlyer, e.g. at 60°C (any ideas where to get them?)
