Mind you remove only radiator hose fitting bolts, not the thermostat housing bolts. Doing so you might upset the gasket between the thermostat housing and the block.
I do have the temp sensor just in front of the thermostat housing, I did not start on changing it because I a still waiting delivery on the thermostat and the o-ring so I haven't looked in detail at the housing , but after looking at the diagrams that compress ignite sent I see only 2 bolts that hold the t-stat housing, but I will go tomorrow and take a good look and see if there are any other bolts. Also I found that for coolant I can use Zerex G05 from Pep Boys, is it gonna work or you have other suggestions for coolant fluid.

Thank you
