Therse an adjusyment screw??? where?

it's right on the top of it.

The thermostat will open up depending on how much you turn the screw. I tested it in some hot water on the stove this morning and it appears as the thermostat will still function properly. I figure it will let a small amount of water bypass the thermostat before the coolant heats up enough to make the thermostat open.

I screwed it all the way in this morning and put it back in the car. I'm going to drive it and see what happens. This Texas heat is unreal.
