If you use a regular type thermostat on a system that requires a bypass type thermostat, part of the coolant is going to bypass the radiator. How much coolant is going to bypass the radiator? I don't know but my guess is that the coolant is going to flow in the path of least resistance and that path is probably not through the radiator. >> >> No, the bypass system is of smaller cross sectional >> area and more restrictive than that of the normal >> path to and through the radiator. >> >>> If your engine overheats and the cooling system appears to be working properly, it would be a good idea to check if you're using the correct thermostat. > > It sounds like you're saying that the path through the engine block is more restrictive than the path through the radiator and the engine block. How does that work? Are you vision impaired. Ever seen a bypass hose? http://www.hotrodders.com/gallery/da...7/IMG_7051.JPG The heat exchanger in a vehicle (w/o shutoff) generally provides the same function as the classic bypass system. |

I don't believe that's what we're talking about. My guess is that engines that use a bypass thermostat won't have an additional bypass hose. My eyes are just fine. How's your eyes? It appears that you weren't able to read or comprehend my post. If you can find anything in it that is untrue please let me know. You won't because I have a crack legal team reading everything I post. |

If you can find anything in it that is untrue please let me know. You won't because I have a crack legal team reading everything I post. How unfortunate that none are engineers, know anything regarding applied mechanics and certainly don't have the first clue about fluid mechanics. You truly sound beyond hope. |

Two types of *restriction* possible; smaller pipes, or longer path. While the bypass is smaller, the path is extremely short in comparison to that when it goes through the radiator.

Yes, electrical resistance works on the very same principle. Does the reciprocal of the sum of reciprocals strike a bell? It would if you actually understood parallel flow. A resonant circuit is an analog of an oscillating mass, the integro- differential equations are the same. |

So if a tiny hole is put into a thin, otherwise blind plate blocking flow, then there's little restriction due to the minimal thickness? Give it up, you clearly don't even understand fundamentals. |

I can show you plenty that do not incorporate any form of heat exchange. They are a bypass, pure and simple. The ones that readily come to mind are those where the flow is assisted along the short path by the water pump which creates a low pressure at the bypass hose. Any OHC BLMC A, B & O Series engine is a perfect representation of this. I have had 30 or 40 cars with these engines alone and I am very familiar with what happens if the bypass aperture isn't given any consideration when fitting thermostats. I have had, in my younger days, owned 22 vehicles with the O Series engine alone. http://mgaguru.com/mgtech/cooling/cool_140.htm The section on *blanking sleeves* gives you a good indication of what needs to be done when fitting a short thermostat that doesn't effectively block off the bypass. You will note that the sleeve has 4 small holes. That is to guarantee *some* flow through the block when the thermostat is closed thereby preventing hot spots, steam pockets, etc. What the sleeve is intended to do is permanently restrict the bypass flow below the level of significant parasitic effect on the cooling system. -- Xeno |

My guess is that engines that use a bypass thermostat won't have an additional bypass hose. The OP has a *blinkered perspective* of what goes on in the automotive industry.

Your change of subject and verbosity hardly conceals the fact that you have totally failed (as expected) to "cite so much as a SINGLE example of any engine or vehicle manufacturer supporting a claim of overheating due to the absence of a thermostat". |
