how does a thermostat work actually...if coolant is hotter than 160 a 160* thermostat will open, but since the coolant is hotter than 160* wouldnt it just be the same as a gutted thermostat? please dont call me a retard if thats a dumb question...
Probably at 212*.

A thermostat will open at its set temperature and it provides a restriction in the cooling system so that the coolant flows slow enough to do its job and pull away heat.
