TOY: Re: T Stat Bolts

["Ray Lagrant" <hoffa@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

well after tapping it, helicoiling it and applying hi-temp sealant around
the edges, it's finally not leaking. now i'll see if i have heat tonight. i
really think it's time for the efi swap because i sure don't want to have to
take that apart again. the stud idea is a great one and i think on my next
motor i'm going to do that right off the bat!
