if you operate a factory system with a functioning internal bypass w/o the T-stat, Hot coolant will recirculate through the engine block and never get sent to the radiator or any of the tanks for that matter... if the water pump is moving coolant at all

the T-stat acts as a switch that controls the internal bypass or warm-up circuit

when the T-stat reaches temp & opens, the warm-up circuit gets shut off & all coolant gets sent to the radiator. or a tank somewhere

here's how it works http://www.are.com.au/feat/techt/thermostat.htm
