Did you do any other changes when you blocked off the by-pass hose? I've heard if you block it off the water won't circulate right & could run a little hot. Great work by the way!!!!
Thanks and no I didn't do anything else, but, I've had a problem with it getting hot though. I wrote it off to something that was normal for the engine setup, but now that I've done some reading recently to figure out why, I've concluded that I should have not bypassed the by-pass. I am going to reinstall the hose this week and see what happens. I'll let you know how it turns out.
