Re: thermostat housing bolts
Now that I finally got the camaro back together,my fans have been acting weird,my fan 1 comes on at like 190 degrees high speed,n the temperature won't go down n the fan 1 is staying on n not turning off.
After I shut down the car I don't hear boiling or sizzling,I hope I bled it good,I stopped the bleeding as soon as i seen the the coolant coming straight n stopped spitting.
Thank you guys 94 Chevy camaro z28 lt1 m6 stock

Re: thermostat housing bolts
The factory fan setup is EITHER:
- fan 1 at the lower temp (or with AC or defrost), fan 2 at the higher temp.
The above was used on 94's "early" in the model year. The system only has 2 relays.
OR
- both fans on low speed at the lower temp (or with AC or defrost), both fans on high speed at the higher temp.
This setup was used on 94's "late" in the model year. This setup has 3 relays.
There is no factory setup that uses a combination of a single fan operating at low and high speeds.

Re: thermostat housing bolts
I bought a new o ring seal just now but was thinking about a t stat gasket instead bcuz o ring seems to give me a problem,but nobody has them only the o ring seals,but before I install it. Do I need to put black silicon on the thermostat housing to seal it to help the o ring?
Or do just put the o ring seal in? Thank you guys

Re: thermostat housing bolts
The only seal needed should be the o-ring on the thermostat. It is a machine fit, so make sure all surfaces are very clean. There is no gasket like with previous SBC thermostats.

Re: thermostat housing bolts
Are you sure you have the correct LT1 thermostat? Rob's site has an explanation of the differences, compared to the earlier Gen 1 SBC units. Does your t'stat even have the rubber seal that should have come with it, already installed? Again, Rob has a picture.

Re: thermostat housing bolts
No idea what t'stat seal is the best. After 20 years, my Hypertech t'stat and the seal that came already installed on it, has never leaked. This is not a typical place for an LT1 coolant leak. Maybe the housing surfaces are damaged, or the bolts are bottoming out before they fully tighten the housing.
