Great News!!! Glad to hear it.
Ironically, when I started up Rosie yesturday, the temp quickly headed to the red zone. IR thermometer showed the head was hot, but not the rad. or stat housing.
Pulled out the stat - my "vent" hole was plugged with what looked like lint!!! :mad: And this is AFTER we'd already had it up to operating temperature once before. Guess I shouldn't have washed my dirty socks in the radiator.
Anyway, put a second, slightly larger hole in opposite side of stat. Now, I just need to worry about how it will take slightly longer for the engine to reach a good temperature. AND, my radiator passages getting clogged by this silly foreign substance.
Oy, is nothing ever easy?!!!
