But a thermostat reduces the flow as well


A thermostat is not designed to make it run cooler, it is designed to make it run hotter than it would without one.

I've seen just the opposite in the Mohave desert in SO CA, cars with no thermostats ran hotter in the summer than they did with one in it shock both 160 and 180 F made the cars run under 220 F when they where running hotter than that with no stat before trying one confused
The consensus was the coolant wasn't spending enough time in the radiators to allow heat transfer into the outside hot air shruggy
How where the Winternationals and Pomona ? PM me on this thumbs
