NO.  Blocking the bypass is a Bad Thing, as we've discussed.   Using a
sleeved thermostat is optional, IMO, I ran one just long enough to  find out
that it made no detectable difference on my car.  The factory  apparently
felt the same way, since they later approved using a non-sleeved  thermostat


Randal,
OK, since I have never done that blocked thing I will defer to your  opinion. 
 I have always religiously used the sleeve.  Truth is  that a sleeved thermo 
has in my experience never made any difference  either!  TR3B = HOT! Triumph 
101 may need revised!  I was wanting to  say that anyway.  I don't like these 
cracked heads all over the place at  all.  I am even thinking about putting one 
of those new aluminum  Rads in the TR3B and taking the deduction.
Regards,
Darrell
