[QUOTE="CigarPundit, post: 1406332, member: 36337"] I’ll be installing my SPD 170* tstat soon. All this talk of air in the system has me worried. My understanding of the procedure for just replacing the tstat is to simply remove the reservoir cap, remove the bolts securing the housing, pop the new tstat in, resinstall the bolts, and then start the engine, do a fast idle to get it up above 180, let the coolant flow from the reservoir into the rad, and then top off the reservoir as needed before replacing the cap. The system is supposed to be self-purging. Am I missing something, or are those with air problems also replacing the rad? [/QUOTE]
