[Healeys] Fw: Thermostat?

Another approach. Purchase and install a brass blanking sleeve, intended to
permanently block off the bypass port in the head & install a modern fail safe
(fails open) thermostat, sold at most auto parts stores.The blanking sleeve is
available from several suppliers. I think I got one from Moss. As an
experiment, install only the sleeve (no t'stat) & see if your car runs any
cooler.

I suppose as a test the thermostat could come out altogether.  Run the car.
f the temp is going up still you would know the cause has nothing to do with
he thermostat.
