thermostats
Does an eV-8 require two thermostats?

Re: thermostats
Yep, there are two totally separate cooling systems except for internal to the radiator.

Re: thermostats
And each side needs a 170 degree thermostat made for a subaru. Put them in last week and I have never seen such fast warm-up and steady temps. The napa part # is in my shop.

Re: thermostats
I have a set on my 46 and they have been absolutely superb. If I was close to my garage I could provide the P/N but I'm sure someone else will post it soon.

Re: thermostats
Can't seem to find it on the NAPA site. Can someone post a picture?....

Re: thermostats
Thanks, guys....I see that the one pictured on the NAPA site has a rubber grommet around its circumference where as the one on eBay does not....

This is the best thermostat that I have found for year 'round, all temperature, all altitude use: the Stant 14157. The one I used I bought from O'Reilly as their part # 2962 that was in a Murray box # 4157 but it's the same as the NAPA # THM 111 and the Stant # 14157. All the same stat manufactured by the same manufacturer for a 1990 Subaru Justy.

Re: thermostats
One of the many reasons I love the net as it pertains to the auto world. Who'd a thunk it? Subaru stats in a flathead v8..... My steel pipes pretty much meet against the outlets on the heads keeping the thermostats from rising up. My napa only had about 8" piece of hose so I cut it into four short pieces. And Henry, I love the look of your engine compartment and some may say you need to upgrade your wires etc., but as my physics teacher used to say..." The proof of the pudding is in the eating".

Re: thermostats
What gage is that wire? Do you trim it so that it stops short of the clamp (so it doesn't leak)?
Thanks! |

Re: thermostats
I use Stant 160's. The engine runs at 175 degrees anyway; maybe 180 going up a steep hill. I hold the stats in-place with a one-inch high piece of cut radiator hose .... one-size smaller than the actual radiator hose itself. Filler does not inhibit water flow .... its the same inside and outside diameter as the cast iron head outlet on which the stat sits. Little rubber cement holds the rubber filler ring in place; no drilling needed; easy to change stats if needed.

Thanks. Where do the safety wires go: drilled holes in the head?
