I have a suspicion that if intake manifold gaskets are used that block the heat riser passages that run through the middle of the manifold, the thermostat has a hard time warming up when there isn't any coolant/water in the manifold yet. I've struggled with this issue many times. I like the idea of drilling a little hole in the thermostat.
