Thermostat or No Thermostat?

If you ever disassemble any multi-cylinder engine and take measurements you’ll notice that every outboard (1,2,7,8 on a V8) cylinder bore diameter has more wear than the inboards. Typically more than .0005”

This is why everyone is screaming at you to put the thermostat back in.
