OK, So I am about ready to do the install this weekend.

I am pretty sure the spring side goes towards the front, but please re-confirm.

Also, I am assuming the small drilled hole goes at 12' o clock.

Thanks

 

goes towards rear, mine is that way

 

Towards engine in top hose section

 

Yes put hole high noon

 

Thanks guys!

 

Just did my mod and I have to say... it works!!! I idled it for about 15 mins and never went above 197F then I drove around block.. it went to 204 for 2 seconds then way down to 181 the stabilized at 183.. maybe little air bleeding out! but I'm going for a longer drive now !

 

I just completed head gaskets and the Mod this weekend.

I placed mine dead center of the upper shroud and cut a little recess for it to sit into. Looks cleaner then at the edge, in my opinion.

I used a 175 thermostat and I only drove it for an hour, but I am at the 178-182 range.

 

WOW thats cool! mine sits with around 183 and at red light intersections its around 188-190+-4 deg its PERFECT! now I know how toyota owners feel when then see an overheating land rover! haha but I still prefect me LANDY! hahaha

 

it went up to 186 today, but came right down to 182. 72 degrees outside.

 

Looks a neat job Abran also the engine looks the business, nice and clean.

Where did you get/find the inline stat and what make?

Oh, the jiggle pin and hole always goes at 12 o'clock for venting purposes on all stats.
