It's a very well constructed by-pass thermostat device that provides more
stable running temperatures. The erratic nature of the original cooling
design has been suspected of contributing to cylinder bores going oval over
time - greatly increasing oil consumption. Google Thermo-Bob and you'll
come across some pretty scientific testing of before/after installation.
The name ? Well, doohickey was taken and thingamabob was close. Hence
Thermo-Bob. Once you see the thing, you'll ignore the goofy name and be
surprised at the quality of the gizmo.
