This shows a complete and total lack of understanding of the operation
of a thermostat.
Rather than explain, I suggest you perform the following experiment:
Take a pot of water and completely submerge a thermostat.
Slowly heat the pot of water, with the thermometer in the
water.
Record the temperature at which the thermostat *starts*
to open. Record the temperature at which the thermostat
is completely open.
Turn off the heat, and record the temperature at
which the thermostat is *fully* closed.

You (and Bob) had best get your self into a mechanical physics class.
And
then a thermodynamics class. And maybe even an introductory chemistry
class.
Another experiment.
Take an aluminium cylinder head, or better yet, a 1 pound billet
of aluminium. Put it in the oven set to 200 degrees F. Let it
sit for an hour (to heat soak it).
Using a thermometer, measure the surface temperature.
Then pour exactly 1 gallon of water over a small portion of the
head. Say drip the gallon on one corner, emptying the gallon over
a period of 1 minute.
Measure the temperature of the corner of the head as compared
to the rest of the head
On the opposite side of the head, use a small fan, and a water
spritzer to attempt to cool the head in a manner simmilar to
what you think the fuel/air mixture is doing.
After 1 minute, measure the temps.
This is part of an empirical experiment that can demonstrate the
amount of energy (heat) transfer certain objects posses.

Now, in the future, it would be appreciated if the traffic on
this list stick to the appropriate subject: Shops - as in workshops.
The place to discuss matters such as that which you broach is in
alt.conspiracy and alt.duralube.is.good.good.good.
