SC

Thanks for taking the time to check this out.

I am trying to figure out if the notches in the bypass valve have some other purpose in the overall cooling system operation.

Possible reasons for the notches might be: faster engine warm up when starting in cold weather; better responsiveness by the thermostat; improved heater operation with cold engine; temperature stabilization of the entire cooling system; or I don't know what else.

Ideas anyone?

Jim
