Do you recall the diameter of the bypass hole next to the thermostat on the front of the exhaust manifold on your MD6A. My engine has a new thermostat, but it always runs cold. The bypass had been welding up and then redrilled in a previous repair- but I'm thinking the bypass may have been redrilled too big. My engine never gets over about 50degrees C. , even under a heavy load. The thermostat tested out ok.
Thanks
Patrick
