Someday I'll figure out what folks think they are actually fixing by doing this. When the weather gets hot and the engine loading is up there the t-stat opening too early won’t help anything.

what a coincidence... I replace the thermostat on my '88 GL yesterday.. I put in a 80°C thermostat (we live in So. Cal.), I also replace the the coolant sensor for gauge..

I topped up the main reservoir, test run, top up one more time and all went well...

if you have problem... this may help..
