Oh hang on it's not that big thing, be lucky if the thermostat housing is the size of an egg cup.

Expires every year and you get a 3 day pass when you go interstate.
It is directly underneath that big white thing - shaped like a fat sausage which feeds water to both heads..
is this the casing where the stat may be?
what does logic say - where shoudl the stat be - entry or exit to/from powerhead..?
round and round we go

Guys, have we actually confirmed that the engine is overheating???
Smelly when you experianced the alarm did you place your hand on each side of the engine to determine if it was overheating and which side it was?
When the engine is running at normal tamp you should be able to hold your hand on each head for roughly 5 seconds before it will be too hot to keep it there.
its possible that you have a crook switch (temp switch to alarm) there is one on each head.
As you have stated there is good water flow from all orifices< I think you need to confirm that the engine is actually overheating.
my 2 cents.. for now

THanks King. Both heads were too hot to touch. Where could I locate the switch?
Guts - will try and get a pic now
pic 1
pic 2
pic 3
pic 4
see how we go... thanks guys
does stat belong before or after head?
Shit guys...
Thermos in that engine are below the exhaust chamber "bulge" as seen in pic 3 and 4.
I'd be pulling the leg off and checking the condition of the impeller before pulling out the thermos.
Also make sure that th eoverheat sensor isn't malfunctioning. If you switch on the key and th ealarm sounds and the engine is cold then you have a sensor problem.
The sensor is observed as a tan coloured wire that leads into a fitting in one of the cylinder heads. The tan wire will have a black rubber joiner about 3 inches long that covers the join between the wire from the cylinder head and the tan wire from the main loom.
Cheers,

Well done Nicholas.
I understand the stat shoudl be changed every two(2) years iresspective - I may as well change it out as well - what do u think?
Is the water pump that goes or the impellor - or both?
When u say "impellor", does this mean water pump?
Yes, when I do switch on the key, the alarm makes a dull sound - until ignition - then stops - then goes on and stay on after about 1 min of running..
How do u remove the sensors?
Thanks
Poor Smelly you no wiser as to where it is are you. Neither am I, But like I said i'm stumped from the start.
BM would have to be right, unless he's got Xray vision, I think he's had one of these apart, can't beleive they would hide the thermostat behind that bulge.
So Smelly was there a stream of water coming out the motor somewhere
How solid, sputtering or a good stream.
I'm still thinking a blockage somewhere, maybe even one of the vanes from the water pump has blocked a gallery.

Hi Guts.
Every day is a learning curve for me. But you guys are just great in helping!
From what BM was saying, the stats are underneath the bulge - not behind..
Good stream of water coming out of motor.
Do I have to pull the leg off to reach the water pump?
Smelly
