Why not leave it out? ok so the engine may take a bit longer to warm
prob now as long as oil temp, but with it out it, the water would flow beter
therefore cool beter when hot?
If you use the car alot in the winter it would need to go back in.
I bet it would be a bit easier to bleed with out it aswell?
just thinking aloud?

A car has got to have a thermostat otherwise it would over cool. There is an optimum temperature that an engine is designed to run at where power, fuel consumption, etc will be at their best. It would just not be able to regulate it\'s temperature correctly without a thermostat.

But once the engine is at normal temp the stat would remain open all the time
I\'m leaving mine out when the new rad comes.Cant imagine my car ever having a prob with overcooling in the summer! My water temp gauge (Greddy)
never drops below 82 degs even in 5th gear on the motorway with normal driving I do have big FMIC though in the way.
Pluss it will never jam shut!
