- Thankyou all for the advice on thermostats- I didn't start this thread, but I sure benefitted from it. This AM I went out to the garage, removed the bypass hose, and tapped a 1/2" ID piece of copper

- That means that the coolant is boiling. Pressure in the system will raise the boiling point of the coolant. You should have 7 (or 4lbs) depending on the radiator cap. You might want to have a mechani

- Phew! The thread that won't die! For what it's worth, in my early TR4 (TR3 style radiator) I use a 160 degree non-skirted thermostat. I don't have a plug or restrictor in the bypass. My temperature g

- One of the things I enjoyed was the Ken Gillanders/Bob Schaller arguement on whether or not a hole in the bypass plug was required! In the long run I don't think it matters much. I`ve done cars both
