Yep, 180 even as low as ~170 is acceptable.

Cant imagine how long it took last year when those blizzards came through. 6 more months secrets on the beach! (aka blackout city).

Did you just install this and if so did you take pics or just use the instructions that came with it? I have mine but am waiting until my exhaust comes to install both at the same time.

Looks normal. I barely hit 160F by the time I got to work this morning. Outside temps were 33F. Rare to have those low temps here so I am not worried about it.

Yes i just installed it. i just have to tighten down a AN fitting to fix a small oil leak. I read the instructions over and over again. they are pretty straight forward. That would be the best way to do it. You have a AN wrench? If not your going to scratch up the AN fittings tighten them down.
