What Keeps the Thermostat in?

[Hvymtl]

1999 305 - GL50PEFS - what holds the thermostat up in the housing and keeps it from falling down into the manifold - just the rubber grommet??? Just doesn't seem right

Thermostat housing keeps it in place. Rubber o-ring keeps a seal, from water bypassing the thermostat.

Maybe you have the wrong thermostat if it's small enough to fall into the manifold.

That is what holds it. Just use a screwdriver to get it seated good.

Make sre you clean any rust out of the "O" ring groove before fitting it, works just fine.

What are you doing?
Replacing or reinstalling?
Is it the right one?
A bit more info and pics always help.
