Sills 7868A temp sensor plug

 

Stock sensor plug; sensor.

 

Sensor/Silla 7868A plug. Clean stock plug till shiny and apply three layers of Teflon tape to sensor THREADS ONLY.

 

Replaced all the original "sacrificial" hose clamps from overflow tube and coolant reservoir with these hose clamps. Got them from auto parts as "fuel injector" hose clamps. Figured if good enough for fuel good enough for coolant, absolutely no leaks yet.

 

Testing results.

 

Final fitment in engine bay

 

looks good for $160.00

 

Covers on.

 

new 180F thermostat also?

 

New as in two months ago, although I did inspect it before reconnecting hoses, and all was good. When I fabricated and installed my custom hose T the whole system was flushed.
