    New Radiator, could still be hot?

    It depends on what temp thermostat you are running and what the ambient temp is,if you are going down the highway or at idle. Either way I would be very happy w/190.

    I will have to look @ my thermostat housing when I get home. But I thought that it allowed some water to bypass the [I]thermostat[I] alowing some water to go into the radiator. By drilling a couple of small holes in it, that will allow a smaller amount of water to bypass but still preventing the...

    What is the purpose of the bypass hose

    I bought a Ron Davis radiator and I talked to them about having to put something in front of the radiator in the winter to keep it warm. He said I could drill a couple of holes in the thermostat and plug up the bypass port. Have you heard of doing this?
