In post no. 33 Jim gives more detail which may be of interest.

Alan; I think you're allowing your familiarity with the diesel engine to colour your judgement. None of the factors you mention affect the warm-up time of the KV6 to any material degree. It will produce enough heat to open the thermostat over about a couple of miles. If it is cooled to 88 degrees, by whatever means, the thermostat will close again. It's a regulatory device which prevents the temperature dipping to the values which Jim has reported. There is only one reason for that and it's not supposition.
