Duh, I see it now.
I would like to offer a suggestion / test.
Try running it with no T - stat.
My car runs 20 degrees coler with no T - stat.
However she will climb in temp at idle.
Once the stat is open, it's open, try drilling some holes in the stat you have that didn't work well. I am pushing the idea of trying no stat vs. modified stat.
Really the distance of the plate seems such an easy solution when you think of it,( I didn't ) It will just grab more water to push thru the system, the larger the gap, the more it spins in the same area of water, slowing down the flow. I was wondering what the temp difference will be between the two, Glad to see your problem fixed, just wondering how much the flow will relate to temp changes.
Facinating.........
Seems so easy......Nothing more than a few taps of a hammer.
Could this be the cure for us?
