I'm putting the thermostat housing back together. When I pulled it apart, there was no thermostat in there -- ? (I guess that explains why it runs cool till the engine gets under load.)
But now I'm putting it back together and I'm the thermostat comes nowhere near fitting the housing. It lays in there just as it should, but the top piece, triangular in shape with the hose fitting off the top, is about 1/2 inch from fitting tight against the lower half of the housing.
I'm looking at the Green Bible diagram, I have all the pieces, in order, right side up, etc... what gives?
