A huge thank you to Jay see [john] he went above what I needed
It was fun pulling everything out just to reach the stat bolts,,, but
Please to say the new thermostat is in, I even drilled and tapped
a hole to fit the water temp sender back flushed it as well.Having a
long talk with John. Im thinking its just my radiator all along, and me killing it further.
Only the radiator to be installed now so not much work at all
weather permitting. Again a huge thanks to Jaysee and the Forum.

I am still pickup up the new rad tomorrow John?

[threedogs]

Yes please I rang him this morning to confirm,
he says he has one put aside for you to pick up
in the morning sometime

Any updates? How many times did Jaysee swear? Lol.

Only when I was trying to put the belt back on... Quick look at the manual and no more swearing.

Best tip was to remove the alternator, after that pretty straight forward. Small hands do help.

Will see how the morning goes, if I can I pop over and watch you work.....

So John was it jammed open shut or sealed was there any copper mat at all there ????

[threedogs]

No nothing block, so thinking its been
blocking the tubes in the radiator, killing it with kindness

[BigRAWesty]

Let's hope ey..
I'm guessing water wouldn't be helping either.

[threedogs]

Yeah I didnt discover it till about 200k on the clock
I stuffed the alternator at 185 K and I have 220k on
the clock now. So about 35k with just water, after
a very short test period I will be filling it with some
Green coolant
