How to Clean Thermostat Housing

Video Transcript

"Hi I'm Doug. I work with twenty great guys in Saint Louis at Doug Jenkins Custom Hot Rods and we're going to do some work for you today on Expert Village. Now we're going to clean up the thermostat housing itself. Don't use sandpaper. We're using a roll off disk. It's a little red scotch brite pad there to clean this up. The housing is aluminum or some aluminum alloy so it would tear up real easily if you used a grinder or something like that. He's just going to get the entire gasket surface clean and we're removing some metal to just because it's so badly corroded. Now we're just going to lay the gasket in there and put the bolts in there in preparation for our customer to pick it up. We didn't actually remove it from the car. We were just given a little nightmare by the customer."
