Thanks. I did that once the engine was pretty hot (230°+) and I got heat about 30" into the external line. That could have been radiant heat from the engine bay at that point, or (I thought) it...

Does anyone know what the travel distance is for the pressure-relief piston in the external thermostat assembly (not the thermostat movement)?

Thanks. That's a good idea about filtering the oil from the lines. I've had clean oil and filters in all my oil changes, but it can't hurt to look.

The answer is yes -- or, sort of. I took out the old one and put in a brand new one. When the brand new one did not change the symptoms, I decided to test the original. It worked great....
