The info is right there in my post.
Extra clearance piston to wall so I want it to warm up as soon as possible. Filled block.
IMO the less time the piston is slapping around the better.
The engine will not run any hotter because it gets up to temp sooner than it would if I have no thermostat and a disc with quarter sized hole in its place.
