Hello,

I have 2 marine crusader D170 engins in our boat.
They are Detoit Diesel D478 with a modifyd cooling system done by Marine Crusader.

The previous owner has removed the thermostats from both engines.

I found in the manuels that these where "controled by-pass thermostats).

Ho can help us o find the correct type or a supplier. Marine crusader can't help us, the motors are to old for them !

Best regards,
Patrick

Those were used on truck and power unit engines allso. They are allso useually a common part. You can try a GM truck dealer or an engine dealer like cummins and bricker(don't count on the spelling being correct.)

It's not the same thermostat as the one used on the truck or generator version.

Marine crusader has changed the cooling to work with a heat exchanger and a bypass thermostat so the motor can warmup more quickly.

If i can't get the correct thermostat, i shal order a few types and try if they fit.

Tanks for the quick respons.

problem solved, it's a bypass thermostat and i found 2 originals and 2 from gates

The BB-motor is now running stable at 80gr.C and the SB-motor at 65gr.C witch is a bit on the low side.
but the left cilinder gasket is not 100%

Planed replacment of headgasket : november 2010
