Hi Scott
I have one fitted to my PI with an oil stat, and that allows the engine to
warm in the cold weather within about a minute of how it was pre cooler, but
also keeps the engine temperature more steady during the summer, I don't get
any of the variations with summer / winter, just a nice steady temp all the
time, but I think I blinked and missed summer, no one told me it was on a
weekend this year!
