Subject:      Thermostat - is it working? Help!
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

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.


TIA
