[QUOTE="86tuning, post: 1324888, member: 17579"] The thermostat is also a valve, on a lot of import engines, there is a 2nd part to the valve that CLOSES when the thermostat opens up to direct water flow. typical thermostat without 2nd valve [img]http://i.ehow.com/images/a05/5p/vf/change-cars-thermostat-200X200.jpg[/img] thermostat with 2nd valve, notice the disc at the end that the picture above does not have. [img]http://www.mark4x4.com/images/auto-articles-images/thermostat.gif[/img] This disc at the bottom closes the bypass passage in the thermostat housing as the thermostat main valve opens up to allow cooler water to flow from the radiator back to the engine. If your engine uses this type of thermostat, removing it is a Bad Thing(c) because the thermostat directs the water flow. [/QUOTE]
