Hey,
I unfortunately lost my instruction set for my thermostat spacer kit I recently ordered and just installed it as I describe below:
Thought I should verify the install procedure. Keep in mind my starting point is with the head removed and new longer studs for this thermostat housing.
- Head ( plus longer thermostat studs )
- thermostat gasket
- new aftermarket thermostat from moyer with "cap" side up
- metal spacer on top of thermostat with the indented ledge outline fitted over the top of the aftermarket thermostat
- gasket
- Original late model thermostat housing
Question #1 - Is it right to have the "cap" side of the thermostat oriented so its on top.
Question #2 - I also realize i could have put the metal spacer on before the thermostat and set the aftermarket thermostat down in the indented edge of that spacer with a gasket on top of that and then the housing.
Hopefully the way I have done it is correct. Otherwise I am out a few paper gaskets.
NOTE: by cap side of thermostat I mean from a side profile it kind of looks like there is a rounded cap and a stem below it.
Thanks
