I broke the rule I should know by now, never assume a part is good-even if it is new. I had just replaced the head gasket and a bunch of other odds and ends on my newly acquired 91 convert auto. One of the items was the thermostat. I was gonna squawk to Todd when the part received wasn't was was shown (I like Wahler) but I'd been busting his balls over all the other mistakes in my orders and figured, hey, it's new and it wasn't made in China. However the Vernet thermostat rated as 82C was sluggish opening even at a rolling boil on my stove. This AFTER replacing the radiator and adding an oil cooler from a parts car (gonna LPT it soon). Finally decided to throw the old Waxstat back in and lo and behold-a cool runner. At least I'll never have to suspect the radiator in that car again though and I got rid of the Nissens that spooges all over the floor at every draining. Gotta give Todd a call about the Vernet, though.
