Ken: I have only ever done this a dozen or so times and really just want to satisfy myself the thermostst will indeed open. I have never tried it wth a new one. I find you have to catch them quite quickly coming off the boil, or they will close before you see what is going on. I am not a trained mechanic, just trying to take a practical look at a problem. I somehow wonder if being under presure as in the engine does have some effect. Also years ago we though if an engine was getting up to 180 degrees you best watch it closely. Today and the only modern application I ever seem to be around with a guage are big diesels in trucks. Those are set so the fan doesn't even start until 205-210 degrees. I have been told by the powers that be, in the case of a truck diesel not to worry if it stays below 225. I guess boil isn't what it used to be.
