The engine builder just got back to me and stated this.. (" You have constant flowing water to your exhaust system at all times specially when using a thermostat. If your thermostat blocks the flow of water and does not bypass for the exhaust cooling you need to drill the manifold and bring water above the thermostat. If the housing has water to the exhaust with no restriction you need do nothing to the manifold. The bottom line is the cooling system needs water at all times, you cant have the thermostat block water off when the engine is cold")


so in other words it sounds like i don't have to drill using the Stainless Steel T Housing in the picture because it does not block the water..am i on the right track..just wanting to make sure..and i'm sorry for going back and forth with this..

cheers

You are correct! You do not need to drill the manifold. Just make sure when you install the thermostat that it goes in first and then the spacer goes in below it.
