Yup. And if you crank your heat gun way up instead of down, you can overextend the plunger to the point where it takes some massaging to get it back in. =)
This was with my heat gun at 200°F.

I'm working on modifying an EX500 thermostat housing to have a bypass underneath the thermostat. Someone else on the forum made one by putting a T fitting in the temp sender port. The annoying part is that the 500 has individual lines from the cylinders coming into two ports on the housing, so you can't splice anything in before that (without a lot of other mod work).
