Check 89-90 DOHC Galants at a junkyard.

I think only the early DOHC's have the cas with the lead.

the thermostat is actually plumbed into the head through the front welsh plug the extra hose was plumbed from the rear outlet around to the front to make sure all the water was going to circulate around

so ive been doing some more work again and here is some more update photos.


my home made remote thermostat housing

Ixnay, I'm concerned over that rubber hose for your turbo water lines. It gets bloody hot right there and I fear you will melt those hoses very quickly. Try and use hard line (ie stainless) into and out of the turbo - at least til you get away from the turbine housing. Speedflow make some fittings that allow flanged stainless hardline to be used. Far better than unprotected rubber.

For whats its worth I destroyed my brand new TC motor when a clamp holding the line from the turbo wasnt done up tight enough and the hose worked loose. I didnt pick up on the problem until too late (1 lap at E/Creek = less than 2 mins of running time) and the damage was already done so I know how quickly you can lose water from the turbo and the motor can be gone before you know it.

Looks good anyway man, doing a good job :beer

Its being rebuilt as we speak - should have it back this week then I can fit up all the ancilliary stuff again. Its copped a hone, exhaust valves, rings, bearings. All trashed in less than a minute. Fortunately no damage to block but the head got a little out of shape and needed a skim as well.

I got out light I reckon. Still as Oldie says gotta keep going, nothing like pulling a motor and rebuilding it 3 weeks after installing it but it'll be as good as new in no time.

Sorry to briefly hijack your thread Ixnay, now back to business boys and girls :beer

[MR Bender]
