Is there a coolant bypass around the stat on that engine? It maybe allowing enough cold rad water into the engine to keep the coolant tamps down. You have verified a fact that many folk can't get through their heads. Somewhere out there the idea was formed. "If too hot and boiling over is bad, then cooler is better".

Nobody seems to think about all the rad boil overs from the 1910's into the 1970's with 180F stats. Now vehicles run with 195F stats and the cooling fans don't even switch on until 200F+. When was the last time a 1980's or later vehicle was seen over heated?
