Since the beginning of time thermostats have always been at the cylinder head outlet.
Within the past 15-20 years they seem to be trending to the radiator hose inlet.
To me this seems a little strange. Why do we care to more carefully regulate the water temperature around the cylinders than in the heads?
The heads are where all the [heat] action seems to be so it would seem to be more critical to regulate them like it was always done in the Olden Days.
Thoughts?
