Oil thermstat
I've been having problems with my engine running warmer than normally and was wondering if the oil was getting to the front oil cooler as it should. So I removed the side cap from the side of the thermostat and took out the spring and plunger. But before I could test in boiling water I put the cap back on without the spring and plunger. Now the oil does not go to the front oil cooler at all. My thinking was like the with old V-8 water pumpers where you could pull the thermostat out and let the fluid run continuously. Is it necessary to have the spring and plunger in there at all times.
