Can you say altering engine temps to control emissions on the test rollers then changing the operating temps in normal use so as not to cook the engine in the long term?

Thanks. It looks like the temp sender in the pic is measuring cooled water after it leaves the radiator and / or suction side of the pump, this won't give an accurate representation of maximum engine temps. With the original stat gone, the bypass is in constant operation adding to the mess.
I'd be very interested in temps just prior to the new stat and at the radiator inlet, these are the temps that really matter.
