Tom,
Do you run your modern motor without a thermostat?
Might depend on your climate as to whether thermostat could be removed, with little effect on wear etc.
Most tractors were fitted with a thermostat in the 50s and the earlier ones had a thermostat as well - a radiator blind manually operated - and instructions for operation was included in the operators manual. They new then the importance of running-temperatures in engines.
Technology has moved on since then, oil is better quality and different specs. Fuel is at a much higher price now and different specs. Everything has changed, so why not be a little more conscious of using excess fuel etc in these days of global warming?
