How do you keep the bypass water from cooling the hot water before it exits the engine in the stock setup? You can't. Its always a blend of hot and cold if you take it off the manifold exit.

I'd check for loose connections or suspect corrosion has gotten hold in the wires/connectors somewhere. Electric gremlins are hard to find, so you have to be thorough and persistent.

Why do we call it raw water?

As in "raw water cooling." Any guesses, folks? Come on, I know this is the right group to come up with an answer!

How long has this term been around?

A few issues to discuss

I'm guessing that "SailFlatheadLake" is in Montana, so his water temps are going to change a bit more than Torrance, CA.

Neil, can you really recommend to him that he doesn't need a thermostat?...
