Re: TOY: Temp help part 2

That's the part I ordered as well.  Been working perfect for nearly 3
years.  I had a brand new OEM (single stage) thermostat exhibit
overshoot problems, as well as a non-OEM that worked fine.

The problem, as I understand it, is something to do with the lack of a
bypass on the thermostat.   Coolant either flows through it (if open) or
is doesn't (if closed).  Other engine designs have a small bypass
channel that takes coolant blocked by the thermostat and routes it back
through the block.
