I just wanted to thank George for his brilliant suggestion, I was running hot at idle, going up to 215 and beyond and not really cooling while moving. Ive tried going with the 160 t-stat with no success. Ive got a 4 core in there and was about to get an aluminum when I saw this post. Pulled the pump, had about a quarter inch gap between the plate and impeller, did what George suggested and bent the plates in as much as possible without touching and now Im running at 160-180 on a hot day!!! Im actually enjoying the ride instead of having one eye on the gauage! Thanks George!
