I've just subscribed to Shop Talk after looking through a = number of the archives. A lot of interesting stuff.

Finally someone has put forth a possible explanation for what I thought was just a very stupid location for the thermostat on my '79 and '84 Volkswagen Rabbits.

However, I have one warning sign that pops up.

Thermostats come in different grades that are sometimes closer than 5 degrees celsuis, so it would imply that at least some; /html/shop-talk/1997-07/msg00081.html (8,973 bytes)

I don't think that I would try this on my TR7 which has an underdesigned cooling system to begin with. It might make good sense on my Dodge Dakota which has an oversized radiator for towing.; /html/shop-talk/1997-07/msg00082.html (9,332 bytes)
9. RE: Automotive cooling (score: 1): Author: Chris Meier <ChrisM@pptvision.com>; Date: Thu, 31 Jul 1997 08:05:30 -0500; I would suspect a reverse cooling system is a better solution. Put the cool water where it's needed most at the head, use the removed heat to warm the block. etc; /html/shop-talk/1997-07/msg00083.html (9,382 bytes)

Just flip the V-belt rotation? Would the thermostat still remain in the same orientation? Gary Lin; /html/shop-talk/1997-07/msg00085.html (8,115 bytes)

I've burned my fingers on that "cold" block. Even the oil in the sump is scalding hot, as we all probably learned the hard way. Well, look at it this way.

It will only cost you about $30 and a bit of time to try it out for yourself. It does work. Have you ever opened an engine; /html/shop-talk/1997-07/msg00092.html (8,491 bytes)
