This is a good tip for anytime you're installing a new thermostat in any car. ALWAYS cut out the jiggle valve, and drilling an extra bleed hole or two is always a good idea. This makes it easier for air to bleed past the thermostat when closed and prevents an air bubble from preventing it from opening.

GOOD TIP MAN!
