Sorry but you might want to rethink what you typed there. A thermostat DOES regulate the coolant temp BY letting the water circulate at a set temperature.
I agree with the 160 degree stats aswell. I rather see 160 on the gauge then 190-200. Whenever the tempgauge goes north of 190 on hot days, I'm getting slightly worried if it might go any higher.
