anyone know the normal operating temp range for Toyotas? Tried searching, but I

honestly, I'm not sure, Jay (suprahero) has my car and he said he swapped thermostats in order to get the temps down......
Also, has anyone had to deal with getting stop leak out of the coolant system? I'm wondering if a flush will get it out.
And no, I'm not the stupid dickhead that put it in....

I'm wondering the same thing. I can see my thermostat open at around 195 (I have my sender in the upper rad. hose...I know NOT the best place and I have plans to move it, but I can see when my thermostat opens...). During light cruising on a hot day it might max out at 205 or 210. During hard driving it might go up to 220. I don't know what t-stat I have, maybe it's a good excuse to replace it now anyway to make sure.
Around 118*C it will start heading north on the stock temp gauge in a hurry, 220 might be a tad warm, but it shouldn't kill your engine, if Toyota's engineering department set the gauge to read 'normal' from ~80*C-118*C...
I believe 176*-210*F is considered normal range, any hotter than that and the ecu starts making adjustments to get the temp down.

Crap, that's what I thought. Jay is going to try using some off the shelf flush, so I hope that it hasn't set in fully. Thanks Ian

That's what I was afraid of. It sounds like there are some cores clogged....in a brand new Koyo Radiator. Nice...... Not happy
