Yes, your engine uses a magical 3 position 'stat. Cold: coolant circulates through block + heater core, not rad. Hot: coolant circulates through block, heater core + rad Too hot: coolant circulates through block + rad The idea being if the engine is too hot, you don't waste precious time circulating the coolant through the heater core. When your engine is at working temp, do the core in/out hoses get hot? As hot as the rad top hose? -- Grunff
