    Only thing a 180 will do for you is make the engine less efficient. If you'd like to drop a couple miles per gallon...that's your mod.

    See why I haven't mentioned it in the past.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    Yes they are Joe.. they have a T at the end of the part number.

    You will also want 4 cans of brake cleaner, a gasket scraper/razor blade, shop rags, oil and oil filter, coolant (2 gallons concentrate) and teflon ptfe sealant for the threads on the LIM bolts.

    Your rad cap kick your ass lol?

    You don't need a flush kit, scotty will probably post soon on how to flush the cooling system.

    get your garden hose out, put it in the rad turn it on, then fire up the car, let it run till clear water pumps out the top hose.


    then turn the hose off, run the car till no more water comes out the upper hose. then turn it off.


    put your t stat back in, with new gasket, the upper hose back on.


    now take 1 gallon of full strength green antifreeze, not the 50/50 crap. ( parts store cheap green is fine to use) dump the whole gallon in the radiator, fire up the car, fill the rad with hose water till its full. top as needed till its ready to be bled of air. it will burp and take coolant as the water in the block warms up the t stat opens up for a few seconds till cold coolant hits it and it shuts again.


    now to bleed the air out, let it idle rad cap off till the fans turn on, (when the fans are on the temp is over 195 deg, the t stat is wide open) then open the bleeder screw on top the t stat housing a few turns till a steady stream of coolant comes out the hole, shut the screw, top off the rad. cap it.


    done.

    Quick question: I need to go buy sockets for my torque wrench. The only size of bolts that need torque spec are the LIM (3/8" )and SC (10mm?). Correct?

    I dont know because I haven't done the LIM yet but I would get a set of metric and standard might be a little cheaper but depends where you go plus you have other sizes andnya never know when you could use them.
