    Tri-z's also have a thermostat like an automobile, the thermostat housing is located just above the cylinder head, bolted to the frame. If the thermostat fails and sticks shut it will cause the engine to overheat. I just remove the thermostat from my z's and run without it....billet thermostat delete kits pop up for sale on here from time to time also.
    Don't worry...just run watcha brung...

    Blown head gasket, and a BAD case of horrible grammar.
