Before anyone knee jerk's on that, I live in Hawaii, with no chance of cold weather, and removing the tstat is very common out here. That said, with the tstat removed, I recreated the situation where I overheated sitting in the parking stall with the a/c on blast. the temps stayed around 160 until I put the a/c on then it jumped up to 210/220 and stayed there. By that time it was dark, and not hot like the middle of the day when the initial problem happened. So far so good. I did not however put any sealant on the gasket, it is the fel-pro with the rubber strip in the middle, so I hope that will do. I guess I will find out soon enough. I do plan on replacing all the hoses and radiator before anything else happens. All that aside, my efan does not work, or I just have not seen it work yet, which may also be a problem I need to address.
