the J18 engine is very unique, with ECT no where near the thermostat, this can make any one used to normal cars pull hair out
end the witch hunt now, please, this is NO G16 engine, forget that,
RTM the J18 car manuals clearly tells you it runs at 212F as seen by the ECT, you have no IR gun to know how it works or how ,reverse flow works you are just clueless, ECT is rear of engine thermostat is front
thermostat sucks cold water from rad, not expels hot as G16 goes they are NOT THE SAME ENGINES AT ALL.
but if it holds at 217f all the time there is no problems.
load testing any engine can only be done this way.
on hills hot day flogged
on a DYNO
or parked for 1 full hour idling, this really puts the stress on RAD and fan this test.
