It's no "theory" that the T stat is required to regulate flow through the radiator as well as the engine, it's a fact. I mean. as factual as things get. People say man never went to the moon too, but any sane person would call it a fact....hmmmmmmm, I hope I don't start a flame war. Well, someone grab an auto tech manual or something that would prove or disprove this, I'm not buying the "Delta matrix diode" or whatever. I have FIXED overheat problems buy replacing BROKEN thermostats (never able to close) before, so I know a MISSING thermostat can cause an overheat, so what does the "law of physics" say about that?
If the hot coolant is not allowed sufficient time in the radiator, not enough heat will be carried away by the passing air.
