#3211 of 4961 Blown motor repair by grspeedskater Feb 15, 2007 (5:18 pm)
Hello, Could you please tell me if a thermostat should be replaced (and why) after an engines motor has been flushed. My engines intake gasket/valve cover gaskets have been replaced and the motor was flushed. Within 30 days after the repair the car overheated and another mechanic is diagnosing this again as the problem. He told me that the thermostat should have been replaced when this work was performed the first time and that any certified mechanic should know this. Thanks for any help or enlightenment you can give me. ~MB Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Feb 15, 2007 5:24 pm) grspeedskater (Feb 15, 2007 5:29 pm) Mr_Shiftright (Feb 15, 2007 9:41 pm)

Replying to: grspeedskater (Feb 15, 2007 5:18 pm) You mean the cooling system was flushed or the oil? I suppose if the cooling system was all gunked up that yeah, replacing the thermostat is a good precautionary move. But it has nothing to do with a crankcase flush.

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Feb 15, 2007 5:24 pm) My invoice states motor flush and that they also put in two gallons of antifreeze. Mechanic said that the reason it overheated is because of the thermostat and that is why the intake blew again. Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Feb 15, 2007 9:41 pm)
