Thermostat YES or NO???
I've heard that taking a themostat out makes your car overheat. I've also heard that taking a thermostat out makes a car run cool and could cause a head gasket to blow. My car runs hot. It has a stock cooling system with a Becool rad. I think it runs hot due to the 4:10 gears and the 4200 8in converter. It's fine if you drive but in gear at idle it runs hot. (230F) I have a 160 Super stat. I was wondering if it would run cooler with no stat. Maybe the stat is resricting my flow too much. What do you guys think. Oh yea it runs this hot with an electric fan or clutch.
Thanks |
