Also if too much water flow then heat transfer is lost. We had a hyd. pump with a malfunctioning temperature control and one of the guys thought that he could just open it up and let max water flow to cool the system down. I show him that the water exiting the cooler was the same temp as the water going in. We set the flow until we the output of the cooler was staring to get hot and left it for the next crew to replace after training was done for the day.
I would said if it belongs on the car keep it on, it's normally there for a reason. Packard had good engineers working at making these the best cars out there.
Now I'll get off my soap box.
