    Head gasket

    Will 170 degree thermostat works on a stock gen2 engine without engine light is coming on?

    Sorry for wrong title

    I wouldn't run a 170, run a 185. No issues doing that.

    YES IT WILL WORK, but a BAD IDEA.

    180 OK.

    Norway is COLD!?!? NO 170 on stock engines....

    I'd love to hear the reason why the OP wants a 170. I mean, thermostats don't cool the engine, they can interfere with fuel mapping if too cold, so what were you hoping to accomplish with it?
