A thermostat actually never totally blocks the water flow cause that would
really create a problem. There is a little hole in the thermostat to balance
the pressure either side of it so the water pump can still pump. Some thermo
fan sensors go in there eg Davies Craig - it's not a problem and it would be
very accurate.
