I have the Moss sleeved unit that I bought a couple years ago. They are 160
degree and the BJ8 calls for a running temperature of 180 degree.
The 160 degree seems low, especially on cool/cold days when I can't even get
to 160 degrees. Never understood why they don't make a 180 degree version.

cool their engines, the absense of the sleeve might be the reason. I know that
it has been difficult to get hold of a sleeved thermostat for many year now,
but apparantly Moss have started manufactuing them again, but to a substantial
price.
