Re: T-stat question
 

I had my Car over heat where the Check engine light came on .. ( I of course shut it off Right away) but it was during Bloomington Gold Last Year when it was about 101 Degrees out and High Humidity, and I was stuck in traffic, this spring I plan on Flushing the Fluid and replacing the T-stat, one question I have is does the Stat come with a new Gasket or is that a different part number?

Re: T-stat question
 

i know the stant t-stat does not come with a gasket,mainly because the same t-stat might fit many different engines/cars...from my own experience,the zr-1 gasket does not seem hard to find,my local auto parts store had it in stock...i dont remember the number,however

Hello all, my (new to me) 94 on the freeway at 70 gets to 209 in 60 weather, seems a little warm, after leaving the freeway it goes back to 195 or 200, think I need a new thermo ? and whats the number or brand from the parts store ?

Re: T-stat question
 

I had the same temp readings in one of my 90s. Not soon there after my head gasket let loose. I think it was leaking causing the temp to go up . I'm not sure if your issue was the sam.e as mine. I just wanted to share what happened to me so you can keep an eye out. hope this helps:mrgreen:

Re: T-stat question
 

OK guys, from what I have learned from the Gathering and various other sites, this is the picture of the t-stat you need. MAKE SURE THE ONE YOU GET IS EXACTLY LIKE THIS ONE. Look closely at the top and the bottom. The wrong stat has a pointed top and a cone or bucket shaped bottom. Make sure you drain the system entirely and use ONLY distilled water and GREEN antifreeze when refilling. Hope this helps.
