Nandyan yan for a reason,
Kaya nga nilagay ng mga car designers and engineer yan, kasi may purpose, kahit nasa pinas ka, alam nila yun.

Wag basta basta maniniwala sa mga dyan dyan sa tabi radiator shops,
Research ka lang sir, you know better.
Hinahanap ko nga kung paano improve fc ng engine ko. Nakita ko yun white thermal valve na barado. May 2 vacuum hose naka connect dito sa thermal valve . From carburator and to the distibutor vacuum advancer. According sa manual ay dapat open ang thermal valve at mag close when 80° C was reached. To be able to replace the white thermal valve. I need also to remove thermostat. Kasi magkatabi ito 2 valve. Dun ko na-discover na wasak na pala thermostat ko.

So pwede rin yun sinabi mo na cause ito ng hindi efficient ang fuel consumption ng Lancer 1.3 engine ko during cold start.
