[QUOTE="brownsvo, post: 16838583, member: 152050"] Shit started going downhill when i went to pick up my car after i shipped it from Hawaii to Los Angelos. about 4hrs into my 6hr trip my water pump completely took a shit. I'm talking bearings exploded and the pulley was wobbly as hell. i managed to pull off into a gas station and have my wife bring me a new pump and parts and i changed it out in a parking lot. it sucked, but luckily my inside belt only lost 1 rib and i was able to get the pump in and back down the road. fast forward like a month and.. My car has been down for about 2 weeks as I seem to be installing one kit only to need another. This all started because I was losing coolant somewhere and couldn't quite track it down. I've been pointing fingers at the oil cooler for what seems like years now as I've rebuilt it with new O-rings twice now. The POS was too far gone I think. I had lots of pitting and still seemed to have drips coming from it so I replaced it with a MMR Oil filter relocation kit. Awesome kit, the AN hoses that came with it where a pain in the ass to install but whatever. Its all done so I move onto coolant web surrounding the thermostat. I tried to hack the hoses I already had and even add in some barbed connectors before I just said f-it and bought a new MMR thermostat housing. My biggest complaint with MMR is the lack of decent pictures or instructions I guess? I took it as I'm a big boy so I should know what I'm doing sort of thing and that's what I did. I found a fitting to run the overflow tank to the new housing so I wouldn't need to change that bit or add a remote can someplace else. My question here and what I thought I was doing correctly until I got my car up to operating temp and realized I may have flipped my thermostat in backwards. I had the spring towards the radiator and the point towards the engine. Car got up to 210 and the hose was cold so that answered my question on correct orientation I believe. (spring away from radiator). Crossover delete is in, going from engine to Y-block to radiator, radiator to Thermostat housing w/ branch off to the coolant reservoir to engine block/oil filter relocation plate. My heater hoses are leaking now, or maybe just a side effect of the thermostat being in wrong? [/QUOTE]
