[C36IA] Engine Temp

[Walter Conner]

When I checked my thermostat I had to take off the thermo housing. Turns out
the outbound nipple on the housing (that the hose attaches to) was almost
corroded away. The hose was just barely hanging on. Replaced the thermo with
a 180 degree and replaced the housing. Works great.
