One thing that needs to be talked about here is that any stat is constantly being modulated by the coolant temp out of one head and then the other.
With where the stat is centered in the water cross over and the fact that there’s only one what actually takes place is that the heads switch back & forth with one running hotter then the other for a while.
One head will stop flowing into the crossover as the flow pressure goes up in regard to the temp of that head going above that of the other head.
Once the hotter running head cools down enough and the higher pressure it had gets down to a equilibrium point, then the other head starts to pass out it’s coolant again.
At times of full throttle if you have have a couple of lean running cylinders producing more heat in one bank I think one can see how such a condition can make for a very bad situation that could keep flow output from the other head very limited .
