I have low speed setting for my electric coolant pump but its never stopped.
With all the clamping load on the head and block and the possibility to have extreme temperature differentials I would rather not add to that stress with high differential temperatures between the head, block and parts within the head.

"10 seconds on, 30 seconds off" "10 on, 10 off"

Nope I'll pass.
Its almost as if they are unaware that different parts of the engine heat up faster than other parts.

My low speed is about 6 volts.
