.. 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.
