Decided to change the thermostat AGAIN. The last one stuck again on me last night and so we found one that is high rpm rated.
Has anyone used the Mr Gasket High Performance Gasket ? I used #4364 High Performance 180 degree Thermostat and am hoping that it solves my "thermostat" problem. I have had a couple people who suggested that I use this as opposed to the "regular" ones which sometimes have a hard time because of the high rpm motor and the water pressure it can produce from the water pump. Wondering what you guys think.
"Mr. Gasket high performance thermostat fits GM / Ford / AMC.
GM/Ford/AMC 180 degrees. SEE catalog for application chart. These high performance thermostats are designed to resist large variations in coolant pressure that occur at high rpm's where coolant temperature and coolant pressure fight for control of the thermostat keeping it from opening at its designated temperature. The balanced HP thermostat features all brass and copper construction, and open at the right temperature regardless of engine RPM."
