82226, wrenchin' in snowstorm, need help!
Posted by highestdsm, Oct-25-04 03:02 PM
Look, I've tried the search, but to no avail...

I NEED to perform basic maintenance tonight, MOST ESPECIALLY THE THERMOSTAT

It's snowin' balls here, and I cant obtain extra gaskets if I break open the wrong housing... Please help me

On my '95 GSX, there appears to be TWO thermostat housings.
WHICH ONE HOUSES THE THERMOSTAT? (furthermore, what does the "other" one house? )

I'll TRULY appreciate any help.

RTV works wonders, bring the housing inside to warm up and apply.

Hmmm, that's like something relevant... -only different

thanks, I figured it out (btw, why thehell would you use rtv sealant on a thermostat housing? an O-ring seals it... )

Yes...and there are far too many of them.
