Oil thermostat
I asked this question on the Technical Forum. I thought I would ask the engine rebuilders opinion.
My 1986 Carrera 3.2 is slow to warm. Is it possible to change the oil thermostat without removing the engine? Thank you Gene Last edited by gclemens; 11-17-2008 at 07:05 PM.. Reason: spelling |

mine failed in the closed position, made it run hot.
i drove 15 miles to work one morning when it was in the 30's, oil did not get over about 130 deg. i think when it was still bad it was still slow to warm on cold mornings.
