Hello, I am in the middle of putting a rev 2 5SFE into my 1990 GT-S. Everything is going fairly smoothly with swapping everything over. One small problem that I've had, and am a little bit stumped on is the thermostat + housing on the Rev 2 motor are smaller that what was originally on my Rev 1...
The only difference that I can think of is that my original motor had an OEM oil cooler on it, and the new motor does not. I race this car so I swapped the oil cooler from my Rev 1 over to my Rev 2. I'm not sure whether this is why the thermostats are different sizes or not.
Just wondering if anyone has any information on this. Or if anyone has used the smaller thermostat + thermostat housing with the oil cooler?
