I am running on two post so excuse my double post. I have found the Mr. Gasket thermostat even when closed passes a substantail amount of flow. I am going back with the el cheapo style. The juror is out on the by pass. It does create imediate circulation in the block so the heads are not cool while the cylinder wall get hot. I am going back with the cheopo type tonight at 195F. I will see the results, then I will take a pair of vice grips and pinch off the recirc and see what I gain. In the end I feel it will be lexun covering the bottom third of the radiator. where do you get the thick rubber from?
