B Motor thermostat housing (Help) (1 Viewer)

Hi,

Sorry for the possible random/wrong way of questioning. I’ve recently purchased a BJ40 from 79’ and took him to a shop for a few bits and pieces. The shop said, the flow was restricted and could cause problems (will try to fix based on this), but just wanted to try and identify what is happening.

Can anyone identify the housing parts? The top housing doesn’t seem standard.. is the bottom standard? or also not? Should I try and find original parts? Motor runs cool.. never overheated.. but got concerned by the shop warning.

Thanks in advance!

The proof is in the pudding IMHO. It doesn't run hot because you verified that with some other method besides the dash gauge.

By the way, the flow restriction is just from the different diameter tubes, they seem smaller than the OEM ones (top housing), other than that it seemed good.
