I was thinking the same thing, but on a smaller scale. Hot spots around the combustion chamber along with a slightly lean mixture might result in aluminum heads getting soft and the seats loosening up, but the gage never reporting and overheat condition.

else we'd have electric water pumps ....
mimicking the thermal curve for all temperatures is difficult, I like the solidity of a water pump and simple thermostat that opens rheostically. the thermostat electric is as smart as it gets...in fact I go seek one. Even the older classic thermostat is still a champ.
