If the thermostat isnt working you are gonna overheat .....

Thank you. Back to basics, people???

Okay, so I took the hose off of the thermostat housing, and it spewed a good amount of coolant (engine was cool). The Thermostat housing looks kind of corroded, and It doesnt seem like there is a gasket on it. This definitely should have a gasket, right?

I also replaced mine with this aluminum billet one from 440 Source.......some people don't agree.... I won't have a problem with corrosion or leaks again. They also have some fancy bolts available for it too.
