August 2, 2006
Finished up the thermostat. It took about three
days and three hours total labor (spread over those three days) but that's
because I did the job in little bits, I didn't work very long on it each time,
I had to go get some spare parts to replace worn parts, and I cleaned and
remounted the throttle body in the process. I cranked the car, let it
idle and looked for leaks or problems. None existed so I ran the car
down the road. The temp gauge hovered well below the middle mark until I
sat for a while in the median of the highway and watched the temp gauge head
towards the middle point and a little beyond. I got back underway at
speed and the needle again began to fall towards 195 degrees. I'll run
the car to work tomorrow and see how she does.
