[QUOTE="thehof2012, post: 1045235, member: 76357"] So, just on this train of thought -- I totally agree. I bought the Zabteck aluminum thermostat housing and chain tensioners to replace all at once while flushing the coolant out. All was going well, top tensioner in, new thermostat in place, tightening the last bolt and bang, snapped right off. I should say "I snapped the bolt by over tightening". This was all preventative maintenance. My Dad's line is "if it isn't broken don't fix it", and he made sure to tell me that a few times over the weekend. We ended up getting it all fixed up, but wowza it really put into perspective my preventative stuff. If you do things, gotta make sure you're REAL careful, otherwise you have a huge headache, non running vehicle, and a guy in your head hitting you over and over for opening it up in the first place!
