Hello. A good practice when replacing a thermostat is to drill a 1/8 inch
hole in the skirt of the thermostat. This will let air pass. Some high
dollar thermostats already have this hole. A bad thing to think about is a
head gasket that did not seal. Piston is pushing air into the water jacket.

Good advice, and I might add, when installing the little critter, place the
thermostat with the hole to the top.
