I have mentioned this many times over the years, sorry for doing it again.

For all of us old enough to remember, back in the day, thermostats were removed from cars in the spring and put back in in the fall. There was a reason car owners did this. Cars over heating or running hot in the summer heat.

Cars today have water pumps installed were the water comes into the engine, not at the point water leaves. Also, the syphon effect was used not only for the Model T, without a water pump, but also with the help of a water pump on the Model A.

Technology has come along way since 1928.

Enjoy.
