Mechanically Speaking ... (Postings From Our Forum)
QUESTION: I have been told by the local mechanics that a thermostat is unnecessary in my engine - is this true?
ANSWER: A thermostat is vital for the correct running temperature of your engine. If you do not have a thermostat fitted then your engine will not operate at the correct even temperature - i.e. it will be always running cold and therefore, the engine will wear out prematurely. A thermostat can be removed when it becomes faulty but should be replaced with a new unit ASAP. You should run coolant in your cooling system to prevent a thermostat from sticking closed. Coolant has a corrosion inhibitor that will extend the life of the parts within your cooling system. Read More Questions>>
