Re: [DML] Possible cooling problem?

[mike.griese@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

220 is not overheating, although it seems a little high.  If your 
system can hold 15 lbs pressure for any length of time, your 
boiling point is closer to 250 degrees.  

The thermostat does not control the fans - the otterstat does.  That's
the switch in the coolant pipe on the left-hand side of the engine bay.
