    The knocking was the rocker it torn the threads out I helicoil it. I put the radiator in. But when I was switching the thermostat the one that was in there was longer than the one I got . Is the thermostat suppose to be longer so u have to push it in to keep it in place and flush?

    I'm thinking it might be those ones that allow more coolant flow but I'm not sure
