Great video this information . An example of measuring the pump would have put this over the top. ( does everyone understand water pump opening vs housing opening ).
Whats the function of the disc do at the end of the thermostat? It looks like it seals the opening at the pump, but why is it made on the thermostat? I cant find the answer online, and you seem to be very knowledgeable on the subject. Also is it neccessary to loop the heater core off or can you just cap it off.. 1/2 of the internet says it matters, other half says it doesnt. Thanks!
This video is awesome, thank you so much. So i have a 02 Ws.6 with a late model waterpump (ls2 is what they commonly reffered it too)where it has the seperate thermostat and housing, so i would need the ls2 dimensioned thermostat correct? My original thermo had 4 holes on the bottom of the thermo where it plugs up the bypass valve, and the ls3 i believe has three bumps on the bottom of the thermo where it plugs the byoass valve.
Wish i wouldve watched this video before i went with whatever rock auto and the dealership was gonna sell me! 5 gallons of coolant later i got the right thermostat
What an absolute piece of shit design. Hundreds of dollars trying to find the right thermostat no one carries the housing. They just sell the entire water pump absolute joke, waste of money, waste of time
Great video this information is gold. You will understand when you run into this problem
thanks for explaining that as clearly as possible.
I needed this. Thank you so much.
My dude! I have been looking for this for days! Next rounds on me! Cheers!

If you cap them off, remove the disc from the thermostat.
@@Sdpartscenterwhy is it necessary to take the disc off if they are blocked? Won’t that essentially be the same has having the bypass always open?
I installed Hypertech Max energy 2.0. engine runs too cool? Do I need to put a 180 degree thermostat?
I want to change a 1999 LS1 corvette skewed water neck and thermostat o a straight in water neck for a C3 swap. What do you have

What about ls7? Same as ls3?
Do you have any info for 07 ls7?

Rock auto sells just the housings. I just got an ls3 housing.
