I'm not able to follow the discussion as I can't open the link as presented. However, this appears to be a picture of a thermostat. Mark Haibeck installed something what he refered to as ''a washer looking item'' to restrict the water flow through the by pass. We had talked over the phone and he was asking if he could use my car as a little experment. He related that he had worked on other Z's with the same problem but wanted to try this on mine. At the time I had him installed a new OEM thermostat and do his radiator service. The end result was a drastic reduction in temps.
