Re: Potential Buy 1997 GSX

Well over the 4th, since I was banned decided to swap out thermostats for stock one as well as 15% coolant, distilled water and water wetter and did an oil change.

To start with found the thermostat in there was basically there for the gasket there no middle section you could see straight through (basically center was removed) I have picts but will load them when I do my build thread.

Only drove the car in town short distances and coolant temps were around 206-216

However first trip to work today and a 22miles trip. By the time I got to work and let it idle temps wete at 226 again. So lools like a radiator is next.

And we'll would say I would order it this week only now the motor in my X5 is out yet again after 29,000 miles. Warranty was for 25,000 go figure as thats just my luck.
