I read the post correctly the first time, and it states (tho *you* may be too
stupid to realize it states such) that marine engines have 140* thermostats
installed.

only if they have no heat exchangers, dood.

(look it up)

" inboard and stern drive engines run with
hotter oil temperatures than their automotive cousins, even though their
coolant temperatures are around 140-165 vs. 180-210.

. you learned this where? wanna tell us just where *you* buy your 140*
thermostats for auto engines (I haven't seen one in 40 years, but then I
can't
imagine anyone would want one in 40 years)?



If you would re-read the post, you might realize that the comparison was
between marine engines which run about 140-165 degrees and automotive
engines which run 180 degrees and above.
