IMO 140 is to low,,BUT seeing the Riva 160s are not opening till 180,that may be the one you need to find to get your temps around 160..
+1..with being hard pressed to find one..

Man the lake house is 100miles away from the city and I am going to test the temps with my RIva kit and as some peeps have posted the riva open loop stat doesn't run at 158, so I just want a stat on hand to change if this is the case/ reports have been 187 to 200 degree's with the riva openloop stat. I want 160.
Hydrotoys has given me a link to the chevy remote kit. I may buy this kit as it will work great with my rapidaccellerations reducer and dynotune temp gauge?

I have an IR temp gauge pointed at mine and have never seen more than 162. Where is the evidence of 180?
I did drill out my washer a tad per a post from ironhead and vspec1.

I would love 162 and that is what I am hopeing for.
Bobo is one of the forum members that has seen 187 and I will look to see the other that saw thesame and almost at 200.
I have never thought to check the riva kit until now and I thinkit is a good Idea to inspect anyway.
I think maybe theses guys are having maybe some rust in there stats as they still will rust and may stick or act slowly.

Austin, Talk to James(Fizzle) i think his housing screws and unscrews apart so you can replace the thermo...IF im not mistaking it takes a regular automotive thermo too...This may be the route you might want to go..that way you can switch thermos easily and cheaply..

Before you replace it take some temp readings and then drill out your washer a tad per that post and then re test bro. This I didn't do. The riva unit screws apart to I believe.
