Moss, in the current catalog, has an original-style thermostat ("early sleeved type thermostat" is their description) that they say "blanks off the bypass port when the engine is hot." Also, "The amo

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

The original Austin Healey thermostat had the sleeve at the bottom when cold and it rose to the flange when hot (as seen in figure B.76.A from BMC pubs). The "bypass" should only be open when cold to
