Well, I changed the gear oil last evening, and filled it up with the Redline oil. Wow, that stuff smells foul...

So either way you need to get in there.. I'd go with the thermostat....quicker warmup. A; /html/spridgets/1999-08/msg01062.html (9,581 bytes)

I don't think it's true for the flow rates that can be obtained in these engines. In fact, I'm not sure it's ture at any flow rate, given a closed system.

From what I recall, the resultant coolant flow leaves a hot spot above cylinder #4 - the slower flow is a more even flow.
