I usually drill a small hole in the base of it to help bleed out the air anytime i have to drain the coolant

The Milodon is a pretty nice, high flow unit. I like the high-flow types and I usually stick in a pan of boiling water so I can confirm that it works.

Good post on thermostat types
See "johnsma22" post #6 re Balanced Sleeve (the Milodon mentioned below) and the standard Reverse Poppet thermostat. Good pic (which I saved) showing what each one looks like:
