Re: need advice

A cooler thermostat is a common cheap "mod" if you can call it that. That isn't really a "cool" temp., but running the engine at that cooler temperature is better. It decreases wear and lowers heat release from the motor. Depends on where you are too. I would definitely hit it up ASAP because I'm in Arizona.
