THE THERMOSTAT IS LOCATED IN THE BACK OF THE MOTOR. LOOK UNDER THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. YOU WILL FIND THE THERMOSTAT HOUSING. YOU MUST LOOSEN THE THE INTAKE TUBE THAT RUNS UNDER THE MOTOR AND ATTACHES TO THE HOUSING. THERE IS ONE BOLT THAT SCREWS INTO THE BOTTOM OF THE MOTOR. ONCE YOU HAVE THAT LOOSENED TAKE THE TWO BOLTS OUT OF THE HOUSING. THIS CAN BE REACHED FROM THE TOP OF THE ENGINE. LOOK DOWN BETWEEN THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD AND YOU WILL SEE THE TWO BOLTS. MAKE SURE WHEN YOU TAKE THE HOUSING APART YOU FEEL HOW THE THERMOSTAT GOES IN IT WILL SEEM UPSIDE DOWN COMPARED TO REPLACING A NORMAL ONE ON A ENGINE. THIS IS NOT EASY TO DO BUT CAN BE DONE. ONCE THE THERMAOSTAT IS REPLACED MAKE SURE YOU GET THE AIR OUT OF THE COOLANT SYSTEM. THIS CAN BE DONE BY WHATS CALLED BURPING THE SYSTEM. FIND A RADIATOR HOSE AND SQUEEZE IT SEVERAL TIMES WITH THE RADIATOR COOLANT CAP OFF. LET THE MOTOR HEAT UP WITH THE HEATER RUNNING AND REPEAT. THIS SHOULD BE ALL YOU NEED TO DO.
