Questions & Answers

Is there a 1" thermostat available?

That's one I'm not sure about. Only the housing is included in this part. Thermostats for big block Chevys are compatible with it. There is no thermostat included.

What type of thermostat will fit in this enclosure?

A standard Chevy big block thermostat will fit. There are a few things to keep in mind: br>(A) Make certain you get one that includes the perimeter seal. br>(B) just inside the perimeter seal, drill a small (3/32") hole and orient it straight up. This accomplishes two things: (1) it removes an air pocket from the thermostat; and (2) it prevents the thermostat from overheating. (2) It results in a minor by-product. allowing hot antifreeze to reach the thermostat by passing br> Having a small amount of by-product is ESSENTIAL. In order for hot coolant to reach the thermostat sensor mechanism, it must pass through. Otherwise, by the time the thermostat is able to open, your engine will be severely overheated. br>(C) Some thermostats have a built-in one-way check valve, but it is frequently installed incorrectly to work with this housing.

Is this item suitable for a particular hose size?

Component for upgrading the Land Rover V8 cooling system
5/5

This thermostat housing was purchased in order to complete the Inline Thermostat Mod for the Land Rover Discovery 2 v8. You'll also require: br>br> 45358 br>br>Static 45358 br>br>Static 45358 br>br>S Thermostatbr>Gates 21719br>Gates 23405br>br>Basically, that's all you'll need to complete the modification. I won't go into detail about the mod because you can find that information online. br>br>This inline mod eliminates the need for a bleeder for the coolant system. With fewer components and simpler routing, the coolant system will self-bleed. br>br>On the thermostat, I drilled two 1/8" holes. There may be some air trapped in the heater core, but you won't be able to bleed it completely unless you have a vacuum fill tool for the coolant. br>br>If you idle the car and keep the coolant bottle at a high level, the bubble will work its way out of the system. During the next few hundred miles, keep an eye on the coolant reservoir. br>br>I used to hit 220 degrees, but now I keep it under 190 and have gone as low as 161 on long downhill runs in the cold. br>br>This is something I should have done ten years ago. This is something that the Land Rover engine designer should have done from the start.

It's fantastic! When my vehicle developed a strange overheating problem and the stock thermostat in the block (lower radiator hose) was not receiving enough hot coolant from the coolant bypass loop in the block due to blockage, I installed it inline on the upper radiator hose
5/5

It solved my overheating problem and was very simple to set up. The thermostat gasket (a rubber-like seal) that came with the kit worked perfectly the first time and there were no leaks. To use this, you'll need an old-school chevy small-block style thermostat, which isn't included. Unless you have a small block Chevy, your stock thermostat will most likely not work.

It's ideal for creating your own cooling system
5/5

We actually used this to create a right angle assembly in a tight space by welding a pipe on the side. Because it uses a standard thermostat, you have a lot of options when it comes to which one to use. The only drawback is that the gasket appears to be non-replaceable. It's a standard one, and I expect it'll have to be replaced by hand if it ever needs to be replaced.

It really works
5/5

It was used to clear out clogged bypass coolant passages. It works great and it's a simple fix.

As advertised and pictured, this is a good unit at a good price
4/5

Remember to punch a couple of holes in the thermostat so that some water can bypass and the warm water can pass through, allowing the thermostat to open.
