Changing Thermostat Housings - 182

[The Boosh!]

Is it a pig of a job?

Airbox off and just swap it or something?

Do I need to drain all the coolent and put new stuff in?

Never done it before and just want to confirm the correct way to do it

Yes you'll be best off draining the coolant it'll be far less of a mess and it probably wants a flush anyway.

Do you mean the housing that's bolted to the head or just the three bolt housing holding the thermostat?

its what is underneith the airbox/header tank. I looked down and can see it is pissing coolent all over the place - All i know is its the thermostat housing. I think i just need to replace the gasket on it.

lol ok mate i will do. Any ideas on how to change a gasket on a thermo housing because i think gray is going to attack it and i dont think he is too sure what to take off.

 

[Fred@BTM]

undo the bolts, pull it off, new gasket in, redo the bolts, done
