best all around thermostat temperature choice? 200

I'd advise the 88C thermostat, or whatever is closest to that, and use the factory one, or one of the aftermarket ones made by the same folks who make the factory one. (forget the maker)
More important though is to toss the 150kpa cap used on the B230's and install the 75kpa cap used on the earlier B21-23's. There is NO NEED for a 22 psi cap on these engines, and all they do is pop hoses and water pump seals. I have yet to figure out why the factory thought 22 psi was required. What, they needed 275F boiling point? I don't think so....
