What’s the state of your hoses? Is it...

With the new thermostat installed, have you re-checked the inlet/outlet temps on the radiator?

If that delta still exists, you have flow issue somewhere.

Unless you're experiencing sub-arctic conditions in Maryland, 75C to 37C is a massive delta. You've got a flow restriction. What brand is your thermostat? I bet it's aftermarket.

To add one note, any leftover leaves that are too long, can easily be filed while positioned in the tumbler. Also not a bad idea to harvest leaves on trips to the junkyard.

I wouldn’t mess with the 36mm plug. It’s a monster to remove. Unless the o-ring is leaking (it won’t be) or you’re changing the spring (you won’t be), sleeping dogs, etc

Your previous turbo attempts, you mentioned a decrease in oil pressure? This was at throttle or idle? Curious what your readings were. I assume this will solve for it?

Also meant to ask you, what are you doing for nozzles these days?
Seems like monark, bosio, even Firad are NLA.

All I can find are bosch (likely, india) and ali-express style knockoffs.
