LME T-stat install.

[sho2010pp]

How hard would the install of the T-stat be for someone not very mechanically inclined? would it be better to get a shop to do it?

It is very easy to do. Here is the link to the how too. You going to the 160 Tstat?

I was planning on the 160. Thanks for the link it does look fairly easy even for a guy of my skill set..

Once you move the air intake, it's just two bolts. My thermostat had some pretty serious suction going on, so don't worry if it feels like it doesn't want to come out. Be ready for a decent amount of coolant to spill out.

It helps to do it after the car has sat all night and cooled off and, if you have a jack, jack up the driver side front corner. This makes the t-stat housing set a little higher and less coolant will be lost.

I bought a Lisle funnel before I changed mine. Eliminated the burping procedure.

Lisle is a great idea, so is jacking up driver side during swap, then jacking up passenger side during fill...after 5 swaps I can vouch for these methods

Where are you located? This looks pretty straight forward and I'd be willing to bet that some help could be found.

I live in a south Texas town named Uvalde.. I actually got one of my friends whose a weekend mechanic to help me swap my plugs and the t-stat last Saturday. So now I'm ready for the tune!!! Got a livernois mycalibrator on order!!

I know Uvalde. My Brother spent some time in school down there and we grew up in Victoria so South Texas isn't foreign to me. (My version of S. Tx is probably not as far South as yours. ) Glad to hear you got some help, even though it does look rather straight forward.

Great to hear you got it installed . BTW I'm from the Rio Grande Valley ( deep south texas ) lol
