List gurus, These new-fangled water-cooled engines sure are different from my old 1600dp. Is there any way to check wether the thermostat is opening without removing it? I need to be certain that coolant is flowing through the rad so that I can be sure that my fan thermo-switch is bad. See, if the thermostat is stuck closed, then the thermo-switch might never get hot enough to activate the fan.
