Subject:thermostat soup
From:Jim Morgan

Good evening all,
I am making a batch of thermostat soup, ( wife is real happy ), And i am
wondering
how long should it take to open fully? I am experiencing coolant bubling in
the tank but the radiator is stone cold as well as the big hose on top of the
theromostat housing. Should this thing open as soon as it is submurged in
boiling water or does it
take some time?  It seem to take about 2 min to open. I think this thing is
done but I have never had a thermostat fail closed ?
