I didn't want to report on my cooling system adventures until I had gathered enough data, but I think I know enough now to comment on this topic. I just did a rod-out and changed from 190 to 180 degree t-stats. Preliminary results are that the car runs cooler when it is cool, but temperatures are the same as with the 190 when conditions are hotter. This leads me to believe that the thermostats are fully open well before the time the engine reaches questionable temperatures. Ergo, going through all these convolutions to open the thermostats is unnecessary. They are already open. If they aren't, the car isn't warm enough to worry about.
