My SWAG ( a technical term, used in the military) for 5,500 would be that 3/4" just now tried. Also the water wetter from Red Line oil company and just plain water is the very best coolant. I used 10% glycol (for a higher boiling number) half a teaspoon of Dawn dish soap (poor mans Water Wetter) and a 17 pound Cap on a remote make up bottle. Three 3/16" holes in a thermostat will cool the rotary at racing speeds on a cold day and the engine will not even warm up. Had to drop back to the one 3/16" bypass hole to get up to 150 degrees, with a third of the radiator taped over.

   What would a Wild Axx Guess be for a restrictor for our 5000 to 7000 rpm range be
in your opinion (subject to each individual users testing of course) whether it be in the
form of a smaller diameter return hose or a metal disc ??.................
