You may need to drop that thermostat in hot water and
notice what temp it opens. To guard against air lock, I drill a 1/8" hole
in the therm. housing in the flange between the center parts and where
the gasket is..,.......................MO

It runs quite a bit hotter with the new 160 than it did with the
old 180. Nothing else has changed component wise, same rad etc.

I spent the last two days dropping my 440 back into the Sport
Fury. It has been sitting for the last 14 months due to a detonation
problem and a broken piston. The long time lapse was due to a
machinist who had it for more than eight months without doing any work on
it. So I finally just went and picked it up. Rich K. and Dodger
recommended a machinist who is a Mopar guy, but he is also busy.
The top land broke off of one piston and upon inspection discovered
that, that had produced a big dent in the cylinder wall, which could result
in a crack. So it was recommended to sleeve that cylinder, which then
means the others have to be bored. As it was explained to me the
cylinders adjacent to the sleeved one get distorted in the process so they
need to be bored to bring them back to round so all the others need to be
bored as well.
But at last it is ready. As luck would have it the weather is
cooperating and it hasn't been too cold in my unheated garage. So if
everything goes to plan I should be able to fire it up tomorrow. And
the weatherman is forecasting temps in the 50's for the next couple days so
I might even be able to go for a bit of a cruise. Wish me
luck.
