Wow. A little more controlled heat should make it even run a little better.
You replace it with a TEQ thermostat?

Truly "flushing" it can be a pain. Never drained a 6 cyl before, but I'm sure it's got block drains on it like the V8s. Drain the radiator and then drain the block. Like you said, it hasn't had Toyota coolant in it in a long time, but I'd still mix whatever your owner's manual calls for (prolly Toyota long-life, NOT super long-life) with distilled water and let it go. It'll almost certainly be better that what's in there now, since most people don't go to the trouble of mixing quality coolant with mineral-free water. I'd also add a bottle of Redline Water Wetter before you refill.Yep. And it didn't have the 4 bolt gasket.
It was all crusty. Like white crust from a battery.
I should flush this system I guess.
What's the best method? How much anti freeze I need? Brand? It hasn't had Toyota in a billion years I'm sure.
Did Mr T put a nipple with the drain block on the 2F?There is a block drain on the drivers side.
The green stuff is fine. @beno wouldn't even sell me the red, said it was a waste of $$$.
