Sloppy the Bronco
- Thread starter snowflake
- Start date
went to pull the tstat housing to replace the tstat and to my horror there were just 2 nuts lightly threaded on to what was left of the bolts, and best of all no thermostat present. If I could shoot the previous owner, I would.
No need for thermostats in New Mexico
gonna try welding the nuts to the studs and heating the bolts with the torch, if not, then its off to the scrap yard. R.I.P Bronco

Just drill them, it's an easy shot to get to them.
really? couldn't even get my socket on the lower without a swivel.
Oh yeah, the one that's behind the timing cover, well then if your not in the mood to pull the manifold, which will probably break at least one bolt in the head, usually one of the front corners.....then go with your plan.

Luck was on your side this time.

No junkyard for bronco yet C:
Engine bay is a lot better than it was when I got it, engine is still physically very dirty, running an engine with leaky valve cover gaskets for however long will do that
Heard a ticking coming from under the dash, has whats left of a breathalyzer under there, time to figure out how to take it back to factory
