 Subject: 4.7 cooling system ?
IP: Logged
Message:
I just realized that the stock t-stat has a pin that closes the by-pass when it opens(I think that`s how it goes). When I put in the 180 t-stat I lost that function(no pin style available on 180`s). I don`t understand this by-pass design, could somebody explain it for me?

Are you talking about the little hole with the metal insert that is mounted kind of on the rim of the Tstat?

oh yeah, I was thinking about that little hole as well. I don't remember if the RS t-stat I put in last summer had a little hole, or if it didn't, did I make one. What does it do and what would happen if I didn't make that hole?

No, not the little hole in the t-stat for bleeding air(I assume that`s what it`s for). The stock t-stat has a pin that closes the by-pass when it opens to regulate the cooling system better? Or something like that. Someone gave this short explanation on another thread. I just was hoping someone could explain it better. I am especially curious because I am running a 180. It doesn`t have the pin to close the by-pass. I know it isn`t critical but still would like to know because DC designed it in and I (and anyone else running a 180))designed it out,sort to speak.
