[Healeys] thermostat discussion

>From this description, it seems that a sleeved thermostat when operating  
correctly would result in better cooling than a non-sleeved stat. Does anyone 
 sell a fixed position sleeve to blank off the bypass when using a  
non-sleeved type of stat? I assume the danger with this approach would  be that hot 
spots would form in the water jacket without water circulating while  the 
stat is closed.

The  bypass is there to allow the water to
circulate when the thermostat is  closed. Then when the engine is warm the
sleeve closes off the bypass thus  making all the water go thru the  
radiator.
