Its a shame and scandal...... Too give credit to anyone but Rick over this whole project is madness and one step beyond ......! We all know who is the real hero in this...and anyone who disagrees is an embarrassment and needs to shut up and get the night boat to Cairo!...its enough to give you a cardiac arrest !!!Everyone in our house knows Rick is the Prince of Tanks.......

Not sure if it will help but I fitted a new thermostat once and it caused the engine to boil up initially then work ok after a while.Turned out there was a small 1 to 2mm hole to give some water flow when the thermostat was fully closed ..BUT..in the hole was fitted a Y shaped piece of copper on the the one end of which was a 2 to 3mm plastic ball which blocked off the hole when water was pumped round ???!!!!!...hence no flow at all!! Engine got hot real quick and boiled up but would settle down when I assume the thermostat finally opened. Removed said "thing " from the thermostat to small flow even when cold and everything worked fine from then on. Hope this helps Andy

As the extra plate is not visible when the engine side cover is on could it be a maintenance data plate ( eg lubrication ?) of some sort ?
