[lanee]

Yeah i Have a problem < i have a 2002 grand Prix Gt and i just put the 180 no drilled stat on, and i pulled my old one off and it had a hole <drilled> and i was wondering do i have to Drill my new one>>>>>>and Also i Just Broke my Bleeding valve to bleed the system and i was wondering if they sold them, Just the Valve. or do i need the whole housing

I did the same thing on my 3.1. I bought a new bleeder screw at autozone for like $3. It was even made out of brass :-]

So when i got to Autozone, What is the proper name or the Part, thermostat Housing Bleeding valve or what

[gpdoug]

I just went into auto zone and asked a guy at one of the computers about a bleeder valve for the cooling system. He brought up a diagram of my cooling system, I pointed at the part, he went to back to get part.

The valve on the 3100 is different than the one on the 3800, but it still may be available aftermarket (probably Dorman or Motormite).
