Hi All
Started the cooling system work today ..
I learned you cant take out the radiator with out taking out the water pump first .. but you cant take the water pump out with out taking out the 2 bolts of the front motor mount..

So now that all handled.

I have two ? ( see pics )

1. what is this rubber doughnut thing and this modified t-stat.( t-stat should have a metal ring to hold it in ? )

2. Where is the water tube ????? ( some one been in the motor. guessing they didn't put it back in )

Any input or what other things should i be looking into at this point ?
