Re: Metal Themostat Housing

Here is a side by side comparison between the two. I replaced mine very much earlier when the workshop have the aluminium ones. The temp reading on the dash is not really accurate imo because i have installed a temp guage and whether the water is 90deg or hitting 110+ deg on a track - the needle on ...

Re: lanos cams

Dun think prices in singapore can be compared to the States. But if i convert the price, i guess i was charged around US$120 on labour just for changing the cams alone.
