Default Re: Thermostat - Which One?

Al - The VP thermostat cost is more than I want to budget for. But thanks for the info.

I read the previous thread, and found it interesting the information about hot spots developing by cylinders #3 & #4. I wonder if the vendors have tried to adjust the thermostat operation to prevent this?

Am I correct in understanding that when the thermostat does open upon reaching the set temp that there is a burst of water due to the hot spot? Thus causing the radiator to throw water out the overflow tube.

Can anybody expound on this?
