    2G Thermostat Pinhole

    I just bought a thermostat from NAPA that does not have a pinhole around the outside ring like the OEM one does. From my limited knowledge, I thought the pinhole was there to help the head fill after coolant has been drained.Should there be a pinhole? Are there any drawbacks from not...
