Default Re: heat pockets?

Ive found that if you drill a small hole 1/16 in the thermostat on the outer shell where the water can bypass just a tiny bit the engine will run a more consistent tempature, and when filling the coolant system back up most of the air will work itself out. Ive done this for years and its always worked great for me. Alot of the thermastats I sell at the parts store already have a small hole or bleed in them just for this purpose. Any ways some may not agree but thats just my opinion.
