Hello everyone,
My question is I have a 2.6 Mitsubishi engine, I have heard that we should protect it from overheating
The question is what is the appropriate Thermostat for this engine. in some cases I have seen 160 degree, 180, degree, 195 degree. Which one is recommended for the vehicle 195 or 180. and if I go lower
will it affect the warm up process and affect drive ability. This is the carbureted motor.
Has anyone added a temperature gauge so you would know when it is about to overheat and or know where the temperature is consistently running. What brand was the gauge and how do you go about installing it. The car only came with a really cool red engine light.
Currently in the process of obtaining new radiator hoses upper and lower Thermostat most likely gasket and a good water pump. Most likely looking at replacing the heater core heater hoses.
Thank you for your time
Mike
