hey guys.. i bought a 160 degree thermostat when i got my supercharger,, only to find out that a thermostat is included with the supercharger kit, but i got the hypertech powerstat and i noticed that it was different in 1 spot compared to the other stat... when your lookin at the bottom of the stat.. that part that goes in the block, there is a shiny metal circle piece of steel that is about the size of a half dollar.... it is slightly bent on one side and i was wondering if this is normal, or if it will affect the stat? i will post a picture tomorrow if needed.

 

here is a picture... if you look carefully you will see the shiny part slightly bent.

for some odd reason.. i cant see my picuter i posted... so click this link,, and click on the small picture of the thermostat to get a bigger picture.. hopefully this will work

 

That piece at the top of the picture should be straight. I don't know what affect that would have on it, but mine was straight.

 

thats what i thought,, cuz my whipple one and my stock one was straight. ill just get some padded pliers and bend it straight again

 

Want to unload that extra 160 t-stat ?
