Tom,

So what degree thermostat are you putting in?

Tom, do you suggest drilling a hole in the outer rim of the thermostat for flow before engine warm up? If so, how large, or how many? I’ve seen this posted somewhere, and some new stats have them from the mfg.

I drilled two 1/8" holes opposite each other in a 160* thermostat.
