RE: [DML] Customizing a DeLorean

#9 The thermostat determines the operating temperature of the engine. If
the radiator is oversized or more efficient, the thermostat will close to
maintane the engine temperature. The larger radiator will reject the heat
at a faster rate than the OEM, AC will be more efficient.

Running an engine too cool is not a good thing. It increases emissions &
decreases fuel economy. If you do this anyway you may have moisture
problems in your crank case if it never gets hot enough to boil the
condensation out.

PJ Grady offers a heavy duty all brass radiator which is a smart thing to
use if you install a better engine. More horsepower means more heat which
means bigger radiator.
