yes bloat, its an easy job, soak bolts with wd40 or similar, if bolts are seized try heating bolts with blow lamp and try again. :thumbs

That there is the kind of advice that has made my tenner members fee well worth while. Changing thermostat is easy job--that is if bolts are not seized. tried to do mine a few months ago but bolts were siezed and was afraid I would break it in the block so left if alone and was going to take it to a garage. That simple piece of advice and the download in the downloads section made it a 10 to 15 minute job. Only thing to watch out for is the gasket that came with my thermostat would not fit. So you may need to have some liquid gasket handy to paste on.
