reinstall thermostat...

previously when i did my engine, my mechanic afraid the engine will face overheating issue... hence, he removed the thermostat for better water flow... this is in fact the wrong method of solving overheating issue... thermostat is there for a reason... it allows the engine to work at proper operating temperature... cold is not always the best...

anyway, i went and bought a normal thermostat rated 82oC... means at 82oC, the valve will open, allows water to flow through it and circulate to the radiator for cooling...



process of installing back the thermostat should be very easy... the thermostat housing is held by just 2 bolts... but in the end i need to remove the fuel rail, throttle body, front strut bar and throttle body coolant lines...



when i install back everything, i noticed my ISC socket is kinda loose... no wonder i had cold start difficulties... now my car warms up faster...
