On the trip to Lithgow the water temperature was between 68 and 75 as by the readout is this good.
Onya, you must have a 160 degree F thermostat installed.
I have a 180 degree thermostat and a fan switch that turns my fans on earlier and my car normally sits between 80 - 90 degrees c. Before I had these fitted the temp was between 89 - 110 degrees c.
Someone told me if you use a 160 degree thermostat the cars computer may not go into closed loop mode. Anyone have opinions on that?

Bogus! A 160 thermostat has no effect once the temp gets above 160 - if your car runs at 185deg it makes no difference if you have a 160 or a 180 thermostat. A 160 just opens earlier.
I think it goes into closed loop aroung 50deg. I have a 160 and rune the same temps as Onya. Before my rebuild it ran at 80-85deg but now runs from 68-78deg (h'way)! ;eek Shows what a totally clean block can run at.
Thanks guys, it's just that I'm new to the world of vettes and am learning slowly.;27;29
