3208 T'Stats - What's The Drill

[freewill2008]

Yeah - *nuts* working on the engine and *bolts* holding it
together. When I saw Bill's reply earlier I remembered reading a
while back about the bolt heads behind the stat housing.

Anyway, it was a good day's preventive maintenance. New stats, upper
rad hoses, oil cooler hoses, power steering return hoses. Found much
better routing for the PS hoses - no more loops and pinches. Also
fabricated a little vent for the PS fluid resevoir. Worked outdoors
and buttoned up the front just as the rain started.

100 mile test drive tomorrow to drop the rig off for the Telma
install.
