But what you are suggesting would make sense to me, except that even on a cold day, after about 10 miles or heavy load, the engine DOES get up to thermostat opening point of 88c.
This means that at this point the coolant starts circulating around the radiator, does it not?
All the stat does is limit the flow of coolant around the radiator at a set temp.
It might be that even with a 92c stat the engine might still not get hot enough to open this stat, but my gut feeling is that it would.
