[Healeys] Changing the thermostat

[warthodson at aol.com]

Another step that might be worth taking is to place the new thermostat in a
pan of water on stove burner & raise the water temperature. Monitor the
temperature with a thermometer & see if the thermostat opens at the specified
temperature. It can be very frustrating & confusing to replace a bad component
with another bad one!

Thanks everyone for the advice--I'll likely be doing this job this
fternoon so will be able to report the results quickly.  BTW one of the
tricks

ave learned along the way is to drill a small (1/16') hole in the disc  to
revent airlock and aid in refilling the block/head with coolant.
