could be a real can o worms though.

You are right and I don’t really feel like opening this one up right now.

‘Remove the Tstat housing’ Sure, the bolts are so corroded I can’t even get a six point to grab them. The only other method is to break it off and discover the housing is NLA. I’m not touching anything until the parts are in my hand. Also, what happens if everything under the housing is OK? Back to square one and consider removing the powerhead or just the heads to look for blockage?

‘Remove the heads’. That would be simple if the bolts weren’t 40+ years old and corroded in place. Having all the necessary gaskets on hand would make my day easier to. I’m thinking I’ll just pass on this project and let the owner deal with it.
