- right but The most likely cause is the studs have corroded to the thermostat housing. Try heating the studs with a torch and see if that helps, or you can try removing the studs by putting two nuts t

- Is there any downside to using bolts on the thermostat housing? If and when I ever manage to break my housing loose, I might do bolts if there is no reason not to do so. Tom Zuchowski Clemmons NC is

- One other small thing that might help, I've found a product called PB Blaster that makes WD-40 look like gear oil. It is better than any other Liquid Wrench type product I've ever used and seems to d

- There is no down side that I have found to bolts, except they will probably deduct points at the concours judging. When you get it apart thread a stud back lightly, put the housing back on and thread
