trying to visualize (read it twice, will wait for photos). When it comes to getting quick consistent heat the thermostat is your friend.
That tiny hole in the thermo & housing. will allow some coolant movement from the head when closed. The result is rapid rising
heat while the engine is still cold to the touch. Without the thermostat it takes much longer to get that good metal penetrating heat
from the coolant. Also no need to disc to restrict flow.
I use a very small heat tube and it will burn your fingers in very little time.
That is good to know about the heat tube. And good to hear your comment on there not being a need for a restrictor. Are you taking coolant off the back of the centre chamber and back to the T stat like we are thinking of doing?
