combin
ed with the outlet duct and consequently, there is no separate housin
g assembly fitted above the water pump, as used
on the normally aspirated engine. The illustration shows the outlet duct viewed from the engine.
Thermostat Housing

The plastic housing for the thermostat is fitted between th e two cylinder banks immediately above the coolant pump.
Controlling the coolant flow through the radiator, the thermostat starts to open at 80 ° to 84 °C and is fully open at 96 °C.
A duct in the cylinder block connects the thermostat housing outlet to the coolant pump inlet. The joint between the
thermostat housing and the cylinder block is via an in-groove seal.
An air bleed outlet vents an y air in the system into the expansion reservoir, durin
g normal operation. A removable cap (usin g
a hex key) allows air to vent from the system when filling from empty.
On supercharged engines, the thermostat housin g is combined with the coolant outlet duct.
