[QUOTE="b dub, post: 10811971, member: 28913"] Summit. Maybe so, I haven't tested it's effectiveness yet. I did heat up a thermostat in boiling water, placed it in the housing, then poured the hot water into the crossover tube opening and plenty of water flowed past those 4 little holes. I'm not sure if it matters whether your reading the cooled water and getting an idea of the cooling system's effectiveness, or reading the warmed water and getting an idea of what temperature your engine is actually running. If you desired the former, you could always relocate your temp sensor. I'll be checking mine with a thermometer to see what the temps are at both spots. It designed to do that, for faster warmups/emissions. I'm just not worried about that. How would capping the crossover isolate a thermostat in the upper hose? The coolant in the block goes directly into the crossover. Coolant goes from the crossover directly into the upper hose. Upper hose=thermostat. I wasn't aware that crossover line was blocked by an open thermostat, but I do know it's a poor seal. I'm not so sure this is the end of the issue now, but I'll definitely post results. Whatever you want. 160 or 180. [/QUOTE]
