Overcooling

Okay. Well, I'll look at my NAPA thermo when I change the coolant (soon) and let you know. I may wind up having to just live with the nature of the beast.....for the design reasons you have stated. You may be right. Sounds plausible, anyway...
One thing has my concern, though. You said the OEM completely shut the water off. After having read a few info pages recently about how the temp gauge overshoot happens (22RE), this kind of function would seem to produce the overshoot result. I had thought of either buying a dual stage stat, but the cost...ya know? So, I decided I'd just drill a little hole instead. Well..hehe...it seems I'd be back to square one with the slow-to-heat dilemma. I dunno...maybe a little hole won't allow as much coolant by as thermo with no inside seal. ??? I guess I'll just have to find out!
