QUOTE (99GT @ Dec 4, 2008 - 6:47 PM)  I was confused also about the tstat... but I spoke with 3 different mechanics and they all said tstat. yea because the thermostat regulates flow of coolant out of the block and to the radiator. thus when it opens at "x" temp, coolant goes out to the radiator and cools down before coming into the block again. if its not open coolant circulates in the block and gets hotter. it doesn't control anything into the heater core
