Sign In I don't see that it's bent from falling out of exact spot during install but stuff can happen even with new parts, T jab81 Novice Feb 11, 2010, 6:15 AM Post #3 of 4 (1233 views) Re: Ever see a T-stat do this??? Sign In This wasn't changed..it's original. Had zero problems with heat and coolant temp when the car went to the garage for timing belt water pump etc. First day I drove it home I knew something was not right...this is how I found it. Took alot of pressure to push it back down to the correct position..put a new one in anyhow. Kinda weird??!!
