Default Radiator...need to do.

I can't believe it... All this time my car was running on the hot side. Oil temp would get up to 240's. Did the 160 stat and all and changed fan settings. Got it a lil lower in the 230's when hot. When doing my cam change, I took out my radiator and condenser and just for the heck of it shot it with a garden hose. A whole bunch of chit came out! Now my car runs 210 oil temp at the hottest. Like 20 degrees cooler and my car only has 50k on it.

Just something I thought guys with heating problems might want to know.

I got an auto meter gauge in the oil filter manifold.
