And that was on like a 100F day
Is it possible that my tstat is stuck open? I dont mind it in the summer, but now thats it in the mid 50s and 60s it never even sees 80c.
Any ideas would be helpful,
thanks in advance,
Eric

I believe i read on here the om617's tstat opens at around 90c, and my car has only gotten to 90 once or twice.

Don't use RTV silicone it breaks off over time and will clog up the rest of the cooling system
I asked at NAPA for a gasket and they told me it used an O ring when I took it apart it didn't! so at 9:00pm they where closed and I was screwed! I lucked out and found a roll of gasket material in my shop and made my own gasket and it' still working

Is the tstat the part connected to the neck? because that what i saw that was held on with three 10mm bolts.
If so, in that pic, mine doesnt have that round thing stickin up out of it. where it looks like that thing would screw in its just an empty pit.
hmmm
