Ive been testing thermostats for 55 years and they all open slowly..They should begin to open at their marked temperature.It was common to change from 160 to 180 thermostats for winter.Cars that used alcohol anti freeze had to stay with 160s.Thermostats will stick open or shut and open early or late.The later wax pellet types give more trouble than the bellows type.Use a 2.00 stem type meat thermometer to check opening temp.Suspend them in a tin can with a wire so the thermostat reads water temp only.Heat the can on a stove or hot plate.DONT boil or put them in the freezer,Still wonder why anyone would put one in a freezer.If your thermostat tests good use it....
