I suppose this might be possible at a low power
setting and while using a thermostat. The problem can be completely
avoided if you use a cowl flap for temperature control instead of
thermostat. Restrict the airflow through the rad and the
coolant stays hot. Reduced cooling drag is a bonus too.

I have been toying with that idea for a long time,
Tracey. The old Mack truck I owned had a mechanism
that would open shutters when the radiator got warm.
'Course it was broken (I did say it was an OLD Mack,
didn't I?) Does anyone know of an example of using
this same technique to control a cowl flap? The
closest I've seen is a controller off a VW that
follows along the same concept.
