[QUOTE="EDDYSW20, post: 1063426368, member: 82421"] Anderson, The thermostat is not specifically for winter or summer operation. Please appreciate the fact that thermostat at full open does not let water flow as free as if there is no thermostat at all..... meaning your water is cooled very quick, meaning engine is cooled very quick too. The implications of not having a thermostat is..... you have a very very cold engine block..... definitely lower than designed operating temperature, meaning after 13 years, you should have enough gunk in the valve cover and oil pan that can only be removed with crap remover..... or maybe a screwdriver!! Try flushing your oil the next oil change, it should be fascinating..... Just because it looks fine, do not assume all is fine...... wait till the gunk within the lines are thick enough to block the oil flow within the engine..... then all hell will break loose!! Take care guys!! [/QUOTE]
