[QUOTE="RobertH6657, post: 1341062, member: 24604"] k-rub. I have tried to put on the SPD 170 and i found the stock thermostat is indeed 195F and the overall height of it to be 61mm. The SPD 170 stat is 64mm in height. While 3mm does not sound like much (it's about 1/8"), I found the SPD stat not only hitting the back of the water housing and literally you have to press the stat in compressing the spring about 2mm in order to put the thermostat housing back on. That means (i think) that the stat sits firmly in compression on the bypass of the radiator. The stock one doesn't touch at all. My concern is that when the stat heats up, it moves backwards to hit the bypass and then the stat opens. Did your stat hit the back of the housing and did you have to slightly compress the springs to get the stat to install? This doesn't seem right to me. Your feedback is appreciated. [/QUOTE]
