Barnes | I just noticed that the parts listed on autozone for the Protoge with the same engine are 192F which is 88.88C and I just found a data sheet from autodata.com which says the initial opening temp for the thermostat should be between 84C to 89C. | |

For reference: I had a highly tuned Astra Turbo Coupe and it had a tiny radiator and either an 87 or 91 degree thermostat and it never overheated. It just stayed around 95 or so. | |
