Here is the water pump mod. I machined a press fit tube and used honda-bond to seal it inside and out.

Are you worried about turbo heat affecting the hose?

I think im going to do a heat deflector, they make some cool flexable stuff. you can bend and shape any way you like.
Think it comes in square sheets in diffrent sizes. But yes there will be a lot of heat in this area for sure. Im pretty far away but want to be safe for sure. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

A 2.4 fits in an '87 Raider/Montero as is. You only need to whack the oil pan a few times/places to "clearance" it.

John B.

Hi there John, So im at the end of the build and getting ready to seal up the 2.4 truck pan. From what you say there is little clearance issue to deal with on the pan and front diff? I will have the v6 diff with lsd going in around the same time. Its a lot easer to make any mods now while shes out of the rig for sure. If its a few whacks then im sealing it up and will deal with it when installed.

So I have found a really good cooling Idea, first make one of these on the back of the head.

Then go to any parts store and ask for a 1985 Bmw 318i thremostat part#3578 (at autozone), they are 30$ and this is what it looks like.Good thing is you can mount it any place. you can cap off one in if your not using the heater (I am) and your good to go.

Body Damage is Cool
I'm not sure how you're plumbing your cooling system, but if your remotely mounted thermostat doesn't have a small amount of coolant flowing past it, it could remain closed well past the point of engine overheating. Without some coolant circulation, it won't be getting the hot engine coolant near enough to it to open when it should be opening.

Hopefully you've already planned for this...

Hi ryany,
These motors have cross flow cooling, my new thremostat will be only 6 inchs from the original location. There is a small weep hole in the thermostat and will have water pressure pushing on it tell its at the correct temp to open.
From my research a lot of people are using this due to tight spaces in the set up.
