- Yes, the Healey head does have a bypass port. Now if you have an original Smith's thermostat it will lower running temps by 10-15 degrees F. Now here's the part I'm not remembering...I don't think t

- About 4 years ago, The Nocks were selling these with a special brass ring added to the thermostat, which blocked off the bypass port when cold. You can see it here: http://mgaguru.com/mgtech/cooling

- It's confusing because the original thermostat works by raising the sleeve up to close the port when it's hot, where the balanced sleeve version goes down when it opens... so it works the opposite d
