JWX Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 I thought about something(I know bad things happen when I think) but could you drill a hole in the thermostat, tap it and put a bolt or something in there to burp the system I mean it is higher than anything else right?

Nug Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 Honda's have bleeders. So do cummins diesels. And most domestic straight sixes SHOULD have them. Sounds like a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike W Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 Or how about changing the thermostat cover to one that has a radiator cap in it? I've got one like that on my hatchback. It came off a fuel injected RX7 and the bolt pattern etc matches the Subaru perfectly. There's probably other cars out there using similar 'stat housings but the mazda is the first one I noticed that served my purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWX Posted December 5, 2003 Author Share Posted December 5, 2003 ya, but what about my idea? would it work? has anybody done it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomRhere Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 I have drilled and tapped the T-stat housing on other makes to install an additional temp gauge. Not much meat there, so you have to be careful in doing so. Think your idea is a good one, but would use a pipe plug instead of a bolt. Better seal at threads that way.

MorganM Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 I guess I have to ask why? I've never had a problem burping my system as it is. Benefit vs. Investment ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
