OP Andrei Member A Joined: Nov 2001 Posts: 79 Toronto,ON	I was just about to install a new thermostat when i noticed that the new one has this hole in the steel top which is covered by a plastic bolt. the bolt it's not tight. am i supposed to remove the bolt? Could it be some sort of a by-pass to allow some flow even when the engine is not worm enough? Anybody else knows what i'm talking about? Andrei. 98.5 Contour Sport SE,V6,MTX beeeph.
