I installed this last night, so I'll answer my own questions;I just picked up a Livernois/Evenflo 160 deg t-stat.
1) There is some helpful info here, but I was wondering if anyone was aware of any videos or pics that might be of assistance.
2) I have a lift in my garage and I'm wondering if it would be beneficial to put the car on lift and get to the t-stat from below?
3) It appears the alternator is right under the t-stat. Any concerns about dumping coolant into the alternator openings?
Thanks.
1. Well, I didn't take any pics or video, no help there.
2. I don't think a lift helps here. You can get at it from above (although it is a bitch!). To get at it from below, you'll need to remove the tray, etc. Probably "6 one one, half dozen the other".
3. I guess there is no harm in coating engine components with coolant. I did!
In summary, this is not what I would consider an "easy" task (and I'm pretty experienced, with a good collection of tools). It's not technically challenging, the problem is the location of the t-stat. Very difficult to get to the hose clamps and the mounting bolts.
