Here is a note in my FSM for the 617.95 engine under section 18-125.

Remove functioning thermostat only at temperatures
below 60c, since otherwise the thrust pin will
be pushed out.

Never pull thrust pin out of a wax thermostat.
since otherwise proper function cannot be guaranteed.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works
