Ive been boiling a Thermostat becouse ive been told
its a good way to test it and find out if it
opens/closes properly. it takes about 2-3 minutes to
open completley once dropped into the boiling
water-dont ask what temperature the water is, i dont
have a clue:) The T'stat says on it 87 degrees Celcius
rating. Does this all sound normal?
Its a Tiico T'stat 100%German brass....the one I saw
at Discount Auto Parts looked like it was made out of
a used tuna can.
