looks good. i wish mine was half as clean. and some of you are saying the temp is way above normal? do the 6cyls really run that much cooler? my ld9 sits right at the half way line when its warm.

i was thinking about getting a new thermo, how hard are they to do yourself? easy or?
edit - i found a how-to on how to do it... seems pretty difficult.. :/
oh also redog, where does the temp gauge sit now with your 180 thermo in? is it AC Delco? or different brand?

Changing the thermostat is really easy on the ld9 its just a matter of patience for ten minutes. After you undo the two thermostat housing bolts crawl under your car and there is a tube that has a bracket attached to the (oil pan?) or something like that and you just unbolt that (make sure u have a gallon sized bucket sitting under the thermostat) and then you can pull the two apart, and let the coolant all drain out. |

I don't know what it is cause I've never worked on an LD9, but it's definitely not the oil pan. Oil/antifreeze mix = dead engine.

Hey thanks for all the comments guys. I am just working on clearing the corners and was wondering what is the best type of adhesive to use. I have some silicone and some acrylic caulk. Would that work? or should I use something else?

They don't actually mix  . That bracket is just to support the bottom pipe of the thermostat housing so it stays up. |

All right, cool. But having antifreeze in the oil pan is still asking for trouble. Especially since antifreeze sinks in oil.
