Yes. I am running a thermostat. Honestly, I am uncertain on which passage t= o seal off
in order to remove the thermostat. I would hate to choose wrong.
Directions/illustrations here would be appreciated. I must conceded, pullin= g the
water pump housing is not an appealing thought right now regardless of how = good I
have now gotten at such things on the rotary.

I think I may drain the coolant tonight. I will go the distilled with some = warer
wetter i think Unless the earth tilts its axis, Ho= uston is not in direct peril from
cold.
