Like everyone else here, I have had my share of heat issues.
To add to my problems, my TWM manifold has only one water port, so I was forced to seek sensor(ECU water temp & gauge sender) ports elsewhere. I decided that the thermostat housing was the best, most accesible spot where I could add sensors, without tearing apart my throttle bodies and manifold, for access with a drill. I also added a bleeder tap(still in need of a barb and hose), as this is about the highest point in the system.
The (7/8" thick)spacer block cost $130 to have machined, the tap was free. I was concerned about clearance issues, but was pleasantly surprised to see that I had tons of room. I have 1/2"+ between the upper water pump hose/thermo housing and the bulkhead panel, and loads of room around and above the sensors/tap.
I will be bleeding the system later today, and will post the results.
