MG MGA - 80 degree thermostat

In an ongoing quest to raise the operating temperature of my engine, does anyone know if there is a 80 degree thermostat available for the B series engine?

The radiator blind is now ready for installation, but I discovered yesterday that I have an oil leak between the backplate and the engine block, so I have to remove the engine to replace the gasket. I am fed up with the poor quality of gaskets these days, so will be getting a replacement from lawrenz in bavaria, as he makes them out of a much thicker material than the usual suspects.

Dominic - There are 80° and 90° thermostats available to fit the B series engines. If push comes to shove, you could ask for a 175°F or a 190°F thermostat for the small block Chevorolet V8, they are the same thermostat. I use the 190°F thermostat in our MGB year around with good results. Cheers - Dave
