Um...it doesn't seem like the thermostat is your problem. If the water pump has play in it, that's your problem. You need a new water pump. Anyways, test the thermostat in a pot of boiling water with a thermometer, it should open at or around the temperature rating on it.

I don't believe the tensioner will work on the '86. It was originally designed for 87+, and I think it's very difficult to fit it onto an '86 somehow. Try looking for a tensioning tool.
