Don't overdo it- - - -mabe reduce the diameter of the hole in the thermostat housing by 3/8" or so, maybe 1/2" at most. Online racers' supply places like JEGS of Summit will have the reducer washers in whatever size fits the housing. I've made a little more durable ones from a piece of 1/8" thick aluminum with the edge thinned down to fit the counterbore in the housing. Jerry
