Thermostat Install
Im thinking of replacing the thermostat in my 89 Max and need instructions on how to do it. I have done a search but haven't found anything that really helps. So if anyone has any info let me know, thanks.

He has a VG, I hear its pretty tuff to get to the thermostate. You might as well do the water pump at the same time.

I have to replace mine again, it's stuck open... Has been for over a year now (I hate people that use water in their radiator...)

I did this almost 2-years ago on my car. It's not the easiest thing to do, but it's not that difficult. I posted back then, but I guess it's not around any more.
I remember scraping the old sealant off the old thermostat housing. Scotch-brite pad works great for this.
Compared to other cars, the VG motor does take more work. On my wife's Camry, I did it in about 10 minutes (No sealant - it uses a gasket and it's very easy to reach).
