Hello John: I "enjoy" the same kind of climate as you - although not as hot and much colder. However, we don't attempt to drive LBCs in winter. I would like to suggest that you may be causing part of

I know that the thermostat allows the engine to heat up faster when it's started cold, but is it really true that it also acts to help cool the water if the engine's too hot? I would think that if co

If the thermostat is open all the time, the cooling system is not coping. This would imply that the system needs to be upgraded. Possibly a thicker radiator will assist. Compare the thickness on a ca

Actually, the answer to your question is Yes and No. The thermostat does help to maintain cooling , not by closing when it gets too hot, but by a restriction to the water flow through the engine, thu

Hi Ray, I feel the same way you do. The only thing that makes me wonder somewhat is I have heard that many factory racing teams (including MG in their day) replaced the thermostat with a special flow

Please understand what I'm saying. I believe there may be circumstances when a flow restriction *does* help cooling. *If* that can happen, and I am not at all certain it can, I contend it happens for
