Daniel,
Without the car infront of me in the office ;-), I'm trying to work
out what this will do. Removing the thermostat I assume will increase
the flow of water as this is a restriction even when opened. Ideas
on how to get the thermostat housing off would be welcome, because
I tried when I was flushing out the rad, and its stuck on its 3 studs.
The bypass hose comes off the entry to the water pump - so not sure what
that will do by blocking it off, increase flow by pump ?
I notice Moss sells a Water Wetter solution meant to cool engines by
15 degrees, does this work, rather fix the problem though than the sympton.
Thanks for your help
Robert
