I thihnk Randall's point is that skirt or no skirt, if your car is not reaching operating temperature the thermostat is either stuck open or opening too soon. Try a $5 autoparts store thermostat and

I'm trying to think how water wetter will reduce coolant temperatures. I suppose it improves heat transfer from the coolant to the radiator tubes but won't it also improve heat transfer from the head

I don't think you have to remove the heater but you will have to remove the glove box. And you may have to disconnect the defroster ducts and maybe even the defroster vents themselves. Still a PITA b

Interestingly enough, a technical manual that fell through a time warp from 1,000 years in the future included a glossary that defines "Fluif" as a liquid, typically used as a lubricant. It goes on t
