I been debating this and figured you guys would know what the truth is. When you take the thermostat out of a vehicle, the flow is so high because of the thermostat not being a restriction, that the temperature gauge will hardly budge from whatever the lowest degree is, and if it does, it takes a long time. Now is this because it cannot extract heat with such high flow since heat needs time to transfer (meaning the engine might actually be overheated since the coolant is not grabbing any heat from it) or is this because the coolant is taking so much heat away from the engine that it keeps the temperature that low?
