[QUOTE="mike202, post: 621775, member: 17202"] As said above the engine works most efficiently when at normal operating temperature which is why all modern water cooled cars have a thermostat also. The operating temperature is a lot higher than a warm 25deg day, more like 80-100 deg. The quicker the engine warms up means the metal moving parts are causing the least damage to one another. So the thermostat assembly is deffo worth having. Just avoid the Mexican thermostats as they fail closed as opposed to the OG style bellows which fail in the open position. Having said all that your engine will still work without one. Your choice [emoji3] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro [/QUOTE]
