Ferrari Mailing List: 512 thermostat installation

[clyde romero (clyderomerof4]

Ok putting this thing back in is as much a pain as taking it out

Tips

Assemble the unit

Put some Ultra Gray gasket maker on the bottom part which attaches to the lower coolant pipe

Now here comes the bitch part

Putting in the 2 long screws that hold it in place

It’s like trying to fuck someone with panty hose on

You think you’re getting somewhere but all you’re doing is moving it around!

So get a long drift pin in one of the holes to align the other one while you take a 10mm socket and extension and slowly and I mean slowly thread it in don’t double thread it or you will commit suicide

Oh yea place some anti-seize  on the bolt threads along with the brass nut bleeder nut on the top of the thermostat housing(which I have never used in bleeding the system)

Once this is done the unit now aligned and you can push the hoses on the left side which are new

Wew

Almost done
