Default Thermostat?

hey gents, I was putting my car back together and I replaced the factory water pump with an electric one from meziere. Anyway the thermostat won't fit. Anyone have a part number for one that will work?

Thanks!

Mike

I figured out that you have to remove the thermostat from the stock housing buy my EWP don't have a thermostat. Not sure if they are supposed to come with one or not. lol: thanks for the reply though.

BTW, sad to see you selling your car. I'm sure someone will buy it. It's a beautiful machine.

You're right on that one buddy.

My drop light broke last night. Couldn't see a damn thing. Haha.

I even installed the big ole ecs tensioner incorrectly the first time. Haha.

I thought about the holes in the thermostat too since it can't be good to have no or very little flow until the thermostat opens.

Why not? The pump isn't going to burn up. Once it opens cool water gets into the engine and helps cool it but not so much that it causes any problems. Unless you have a weird thermostat, it's going to have a weeping hole already in it for filling the system back up with coolant. I don't see the point in making more holes unless someone has proof that the engineers are wrong.

Exactly. Why not. :-)

Punching a couple holes in it surely won't hurt not to mention makes burping a cooling system easier.
