We have twin 1978 Perkins T6.354M 160s. The thermostat in the port engine opens at about 120 degrees rather than the proper 180. Finding a replacement for the large skirt thermostat that fits has been difficult. We have been told that in 1980 Perkins changed the opening on these engines to accomodate a much smaller skirted thermostat and no longer makes the large skirted size but that we can use the smaller and it is held in place with an O-ring. Is anyone familiar with this situation?
Any info appreciated.
