just bought a 160 stat for my 1998 3.8l camaro. whats involved in putting it in? it came with a seal, now is there suppose to be 2 or just 1 seal in the stat housing?? and do i need to drain my radiator fluid? ive heard yes and no.....

 

well i havent worked on a 3.8 but it should be easy follow the top radiator hose to the intake then you see the metal elbow thats where the thermostat lays it is a good time to drain your coolent to put in good new stuff you dont have to but its a mess if you dont it takes one seal you will see when you take it out

just make sure that both seal surfaces are clean
