Thermostat twisted in the housing

[ORFORD2004]

Since i removed my engine to put the new one, i removed the thermostat to find that he was twist inside with all port open.
That's why it was so easy to burp my system lolll!!!! Is that a regular problem?

Mine had all the ports open as well. As near as I could determine, the only impact was that the water was always circulating through the radiator so it took longer for the engine to reach a normal operating temperature but was fine once it did.

I'd go and buy a new one, especially living in an cold climate. If you engine is too cold, it will not run right and will use extra fuel.

Is Quebec supposed to be cold
And since my fuel pump is not working for now, the car is very good on fuel

A bit cooler than in the Mediteranian isn't it ?
If it ain't goin, and you don't want to take advice, why bother to ask about thermostat ?????????????????

The question was: Is that a regular problem not if i can leave it like that. I will replace it for shure
