I received a new thermo and gasket from TRF today to just replace the thing.  I do not recall putting anything like Holimer (sp?) dressing on the gasket.  Am I correct that it just goes on as is?

Thanks,

Craig

Craig, another way to test if a 'stat is working or not is to remove it completely. Put it in a saucepan or lab jar of warm water with a 212F thermomenter. Bring the water up to boiling point and watch the temp on the thermometer. At around 180deg, the stat should start to open quite fast. If it doesn't, it's toast and needs replacing. Maybe you don't want to try this, so just fit a new stat anyway. It's not as though they're costly and its always useful to have a spare.

Don't know, I could replace it.  Any way to test that?  I did replace it 4/1/2006, that could be it.

Thanks,

Craig

Yes, but it's not likely to be the plugs. Is your thermostat stuck open?
