Re: [DML] how hot is too hot? Coolant temp questions

[mike.griese@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

All DeLoreans (and all other cars, for that matter) should operate
very close to their thermostat rating.  If you are running higher
temperatures, you have a cooling problem.  That means you
should be somewhere in the 170-190 range, even in the dead of
winter.
