    I bought the replacement thermostat @ SoG and I'm trying to replace it. Does anyone know which hose it's in?

    Afterwards I'll have to do a few 130+ mph runs to test if that's fix for the overheating problem. ;)

    Its on the drivers side of the block. Toward the bottom. I think thats right. I remember seeing it on Dan's motor before it was installed. :p

    its located on the block side of the lower hose. make sure you get the jiggly valve in the correct possition or it wont open properly.

    Excellent, I'll go take the hose off and do it.

    For the jiggly valve, are you talking about that little jiggly thing that's not the main thermostat valve? Do you know which direction is should go in? (top i would guess).

    Thanks! It's in now and seems to be working better. When it was overheating @ the track it wasn't blowing as much heat from the radiators as it is right now.

    if your bottom hose gets hot then its opening.
