I have a 1942 WC-52 with a 230 flathead 1300 miles since rebuild. Just recently (2 times) I have noticed a maxed out temp guage approx 5 min after startup. The temp guage goes to 200+ degrees for maybe 1 second and then quickly drops to 160 degrees, which is normal temp. I'm thinking the thermostat is sticking. Is it possible to drill some small holes in the thermostat to flow some coolant to prevent this, or should I change out the thermostat ?
Thanks for any help
