Re: [WT] F134 Cooling Circuit
John, Right out of the FSM. I recommend a 160? version. That way straight water can be used. Also some people drill a small 1/16¡± to 1/8¡± hole in the thermostat flange. This starts the flow

Re: [WT] F134 Cooling Circuit
Well, the thermostat was indeed installed upside down. I corrected it and started the engine. In about two minutes the engine heated again (the needle went to H on the gauge) and again the hose from

Re: [WT] F134 Cooling Circuit
John, While you have it out drill an 1/8" hole in the flange to allow air to bubble out. When you first fill with coolant you can get some air pockets and the L134 can run a little hot till they

Re: F134 Cooling Circuit

Re: [WT] F134 Cooling Circuit
At this time, the prime suspect is a failed or mis-installed thermostat.The heater hose getting hot demonstrates that the water pump is functioning, and that coolant is circulating. RJ

Re: [WT] F134 Cooling Circuit
I opened this valve and find the hose connected to get hot fairly quickly. I then felt the large hose going to the bottom of the radiator and it too is hot. However, the large hose to the top of the
