rdatiator /thermostat problems
when radiator cap is removed and I start the engine the ,coolant circulates right away, this is not correct is it, I think the thermostat has been removed am I correct in saying that
right by saying, that when engine starts, once the water in the head/block gets to temperature the thermostat opens then circulates the coolant |

Also, as a side effect, it allows the radiator to gently warm a little preventing a sudden rush of stone cold coolant into the head/block when the thermostat opens. All depends on what you are seeing? Is it overflowing out of the neck? Is it rushing through?
