As luck would have it the two 8mm, I think, bolts that are on the opposite side of the temp sensors in the thermostat housing sheared off due to being seized in the holes due to lack of maintenance on my part. Anyhow I've managed to drill them out to the point where I don't want to use a larger drill bit and risk screwing up the threads. In fact in one of the bolts I tried using an extractor type bit that broke off in the bolt too. Any sage advice would be greatly appreciated. These are the last two stumbling blocks, that I'm aware of now, standing in the way of me getting my engine back in the van so we can go camping................ Help, Paul in Tracy
