Is there a coolant bypass around the stat on that engine? It maybe allowing enough cold rad water into the engine to keep the coolant tamps down. You have verified a fact that many folk can't get through their heads. Somewhere out there the idea was formed. "If too hot and boiling over is bad, then cooler is better". Hence all the machines that have had the stats tossed in the garbage bin. 160F stats installed or the shutters missing/jammed wide open. 180F is the minimum operating temp.

Nobody seems to think about all the rad boil overs from the 1910's into the 1970's with 180F stats. Now vehicles run with 195F stats and the cooling fans don't even switch on until 200F+. When was the last time a 1980's or later vehicle was seen over heated?

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power.
