My existing Oil thermostat that resides in the rear fender well of my 1973.5T has not functioned for a long time. With warmer temperatures and running at 200-210F on the gauge its time to get that oil up into the front cooler. Rather then pull and restore it might be more cost effective to purchase and install a new one.
The trick is how to remove the darn things!!
If anyone has had experience getting these off (heat, a gallon of penetrant, pounding, etc) can you share your experience that might ease the pain of removal.
You know they do not function when the pipes leading to the oil cooler up front are still cool after running the car for the day.
Any advise on cleaning the oil pipes after removal?
Thanks
