[quote=“NASA144” post=57795]help me figure this one out…
just did hyperfest this weekend and prior to going i removed the spring and t-stat. my hottest temps got to 239!!! prior to this mod i was getting up to 212 hottest.
what’s up with that??? think i’m going to put it back in.[/quote]
If you do this wrong the oil bypasses your cooler. A tstat “missing” isn’t the same as the tstat “open”. Same for the cooling system. If you remove the tstat the coolant bypasses the radiator.
