Installation Guide

  1. Safety First: Ensure the engine is completely cool before starting. Disconnect the battery.
  2. Drain Coolant: Place a drain pan under the thermostat housing and drain the coolant to a level below the housing.
  3. Locate Housing: Identify the thermostat housing, typically located where the main coolant hose from the engine connects to the cylinder head or intake manifold.
  4. Remove Housing Cover: Loosen and remove the bolts securing the thermostat housing cover.
  5. Remove Old Thermostat: Carefully lift the old thermostat out of the housing. Note its orientation.
  6. Clean Surfaces: Scrape away any old gasket material from both the housing and the cover mating surfaces. Ensure surfaces are clean and dry.
  7. Install New Gaskets: Place the new thermostat gasket and housing cover gasket in position.
  8. Install New Thermostat: Insert the new thermostat into the housing, making sure it is oriented correctly (spring-side towards the engine).
  9. Reattach Cover: Secure the housing cover and tighten the bolts evenly to the manufacturer's recommended torque.
  10. Refill Coolant: Refill the cooling system with the appropriate coolant mixture.
  11. Check for Leaks: Reconnect the battery. Start the engine and let it run, checking for any leaks around the thermostat housing.
  12. Final Check: Once the engine reaches operating temperature, check the coolant level and top off if necessary.

Super soft and comfortable!
I haven't bought new underwear in forever. I used to wear thongs, but now find them incredibly uncomfortable. The last few times I've tried to buy new underwear, the sizing was either way off (I'm a medium, but gave up after having to return them for a large and then extra large) or the quality was horrible (two brands stretch waaaay out and they can fall down while wearing them (I have larger ass-ets, so they shouldn't start to slide down during use). I tried these after buying some bamboo pyjamas and I love them! They are incredibly soft, comfortable, and stretchy. I can use them all day, and they work well, whether I'm lounging on the couch or wearing them under my spandex shorts at the gym, they don't ride up or slide down. They are both comfortable and look sexy, while providing support in all the right places. I haven't had them too long, so I can't speak on the durability, but they appear to be of good quality and I plan to order more, this time without the band.

Well made, light fabric. Waist doesn't roll.
These bamboo underwear really do keep you cool. They fit true to size, and wear easily. the wide elastic waist band doesn't roll on me. They are comfortable to wear, washed and dried easily. The material has some stretch to it, but not a lot. Well made, no stray strings. Perfect fit for me. Just what I was looking for.

Good quality, smooth feel
I got these briefs so recently that have washed just one pair so far. First off, these are very comfortable, the material is soft & bordering silky, good quality sewing. Wash well and minimal if any shrinkage. They do come a bit wrinkled from the dryer but hey, these are underwear and will go on smoothly. If it were a t-shirt, I would look sloppy. I feel the sizing is accurate. No rolling and these don't announce themselves under clothing. Planning on getting more of these boxers and replacing my old panties.

A little snug on the thighs
Size: Medium, Color: Multicoloured G (5-pack)
Super comfy, soft and thin. For reference, I'm 5'6", 135, athletic build. I bought medium. I almost returned them because I thought they were a bit too snug on my thighs, and my thighs are not large at all. I was concerned about panty lines under snug clothing. But, because they're thin, I figured they would probably stretch, so I kept them. So far, I've only worn them under a night shirt, but they're super comfortable and they dont ride up at all. Very nice, but if your thighs are a little thick, you probably won't like them.

Not only do these feel good, my husband can’t keep his hands off me. They fit so good and are soft. I change into these to sleep but also just use them as shorts to wear around the house. They’re comfortable and don’t slide around. I got a size small and I’m 100lbs.
