Cooling System

[Snikty]

As I'm dismantling I'm noticing more and more just how completely screwed the the cooling is on this engine (I'm seeing signs that it was cooked also) so I have a few quick questions I wanted to ask.

Firstly, can you still get thermostats through nissan and are these the same as the ma10 and ma12?

Secondly, the bypass hose that runs along the front of the engine from the radiator to the water pump. Can this be removed easily? I really need to get mine out and have a new one fabricated/ordered.

I think that's it for now.

Cheers, Steve.

the pipe that runs across the front just pulls out, theres only the friction of an o-ring holding it in, just riddle and pull

Ahh ok cool. I thought it should be that easy, clearly its rusted in pretty badly then. thanks.
