I thought you said there was? on SOWA or somewhere?

My apologies Jacob

All good from what I've been told hylomar helps hold commetic together anyways OEM ready to go back in now :)

Doesnt lower coolant temp helps knock control and seal/gasket longevity?

I thought moderm cars runs hotter temp to bring down emissions?

Even the Americans have got it right... a lower temp thermostat is useless ffs

Oversize valves on stock seats do nothing

Assumed as much

What about onces that have been throated and new seats to match oversize valve?

Highlighted some important bits for S20525xxxxx ...... Now will you STFU with your uneducated posts?

Im getting bored with ur pointless targeting on every single post I do. So last post on this thread.

First, I make sure I understand what each parameter does before Mao alters it, and program is not as important as tuner's skill, right.

Secondly, that crawford article is spot on, in fact I posted it on my thread too. Low temp thermo stat does nothing, fan kickin temp needs to be adjusted to make it work. but if u do that without installing a thermostat, ur fan will constantly on to cool the engine because oem thermostat is not fully opened.

At last, before I have thermostat and fan setting done, my car runs at 96 on track, now its at 88. Torque is not reduced because of thermal efficiency loss. As someone would say fan does nothing at high speed. Subaru repair manual points out ecu sets different fan speed with different road speed.
