I know that's what SELOC says, but Rimmer's say both are 87C medium spring...hence my confusion
What hope is there when even the part supplier doesn't know what they've got?!

Will order a buff one as that's what was on originally and see how we get on. Experience so far is that running temps are only 1-2C above the stat rating, probably majorly helped by the waterways in the head being opened up to design by DVAPower.
