I probably have to credit any recent improvement to the weather and "summer" fuel mix.

I did note engine running kinda warm one day, not centered at its usual 182ºF. due to a bit too much grill block. Considering running more grill block regularly, and keep an eye on the temp via ScanGauge. Also considering a hotter thermostat, but Civics have the t'stat low down at the lower rad hose return, and with the belly pan, changing it could be a sloppy mess. So I'm tempted to do either but also a bit reluctant. Looking for any pointers you guys may have on that.
