Reply to "Source for correct Cleveland Thermostat?"

Simon, that is not the correct style thermostat for a factory-correct Cleveland engine. There are no ifs, ands or buts about that.

It is not correct.

The reason you may have seen those in Cleveland engines is because vendors and owners do not know what is correct‼️

The only situation where that style thermostat is functioning correctly in a Cleveland is only when the factory installed brass block off plate pressed into the engine block has been completely sealed.

if the factory brass block off plate is still installed, that style thermostat will serve to diminish coolant flow through the radiator and will contribute to higher coolant temperatures

just because it will fit in a Cleveland does not make it correct for a Cleveland
