Yep. there's an air bleed thermac inside. The only other thing on it is the rubber elbow for the valve cover crankcase.

The problem with the thermostatic theory is:
It opens and closes to help the car warm up faster for cold starts.

The thermac is closed off when the motor is hot, which is when he is having trouble.

If it doesn't ever close however it WOULD kinda be like putting a runner in a sauna after a marathon.
