afaik these experienced and properly educated engineers have been designing these engines to contain these sensors (like the humble thermostat) because of the specific needs for fuel efficiency and power output.
Are we talking of the same engineers that designed the 4JX1-TC? There are times that engineers forget to understand long term effects of their design.
And leave the humble mechanic to do task of doing repairs and remedies for their faults.

When i was still studying we had a classmate who was an engineer. I asked him bakit pa siya nagenroll engineer na siya. He said nabilib siya sa classmate niya na mekanico na nag engineering.

I find DJ's claim reasonable. Have you experienced a shut closed thermostat? It can blow your cylinder head and render it RIP.

Userfriendly, how is your class doing? kamusta mo ako kay sir Roger S. Hindi ko na kayo ulit nabisita.
