Once the system temperature settles down to a constant.. The thermostat
will only partially open letting a lower coolant flow go thru. If the temp
starts rising too much then the thermostat will open a little more to
compensate for the extra heat.
The thermostat won't normally open and close like a door after the system
settles down. If it does it causes a wide fluctuation in the block
temperature due to the rapid inrush of cold coolant from the radiator. A
slower constant coolant flow removes more heat than a fast high volume flow.
Am I right in this thinking? Bill
