Looking at my Stratus head, the coolant outlet is on the RH side of the head, just above the water pump.

So I was wondering how well the circulation is around #3 and #4, looks like the LH end of the head would be the perfect place to run a heater hose out of the freeze plug hole to the heater control valve, and kill 2 birds with 1 stone....

Has anyone tried this??? :confused:

why dont you just place and t-stat housing on the rh side of the head where the freeze plug is no. all you have to do is blockoff the coolant passage on the rh side and drill the head on the lh side for studs (or bolts) simple. now your coolant problem is fixed. i wish that i could load attachments and show you how i did mine but it wont let me here on tm for some reason.
