Default Re: Thermostat

If I put in a section of lower hose into the upper hose to hold the thermostat in place can it be a short section or should it be the length of the upper hose? There must be a fairly strong force of water going through.
Some people say drill a couple of small house in the thermostat so that there is always some coolant getting through. Should I?
I'm also putting in a new Brassworks radiator. I will flush out the block first. Some folks say stretch an old sock over the upper radiator water inlet before attaching the hose to prevent crude from getting into the radiator. Is this a good idea?
