speaking of the thermostat...i went to Napa autoparts and I bought a thermostat and gasket from them...its not the same as the OE version (wahler) but i was wondering if the unit will fit in the thermostat housing. The design of the new thermostat has a more upward triangle point on the thermostat compared to the walher one. I'm going to put in it today to see if it works...my original thermostat is still stuck in the thermostat housing and i dont know how to get it out. I was told that the thing would just pop right out...but on this one...it feels like its molded to the housing directly. is there a way how to take it out without damaging the thermostat housing?

Thanks for your replies
