Hey guys. I just installed a new Mr. Gasket 180˚ Hi-Flow thermostat. I now find that the car takes a good half hour to get it up to the operating temperature and the car runs at the same temperature as it did with the 170˚. Does this sound correct. I thought the car would reach operating temperature much quicker with the 180˚ I checked it before I installed it. It is working correctly. I am just concerned the car runs too cool for a long period of time.

I have temporarily by-passed my Heater Valve until my new one comes in. Would this have any affect?
