216K thermostat mod.

Some of you might recall I moved the thermostat from its design position to the cylinder head water outlet by using a thermostat housing from an Alfa 155 twinspark. This was a year or so ago and it has worked well with no problems. The idea was to minimise repeated thermal shock in the engine with the original layout. The motor warms up as before and the needle stays spot on the same place as before. So far so good. Only time will tell if the head gasket lasts longer than many did with the original design.
