Title: Thermostat or not?
Post by: mintex on September 17, 2015, 10:02:53 PM

Hi all.
A question for the bis people, how many of you run with the thermostat in or out?
Ours still has it in and im just curious as to how many run with and without it ;D

I'm on engine number three so I'm not taking any chances so run mine without however I do belive I have sorted my overheating issues now (touching wood!!) running it with waterless so could probably fit one back in but it doesn't take much longer to heat up so may well leave it out.

I considered running with it out, but run with it. Radiator cooling fan kicks in as it should, half way on temp gauge in 10 second bursts without fail. All works fine, head gasket hasnt gone yet;) Hope I havent tempted fate ::)
