Ok, Thermostat and Coolant temp sensor
where can I find them on my motor? I want to do a cooling sys flush since I noticed a bad smell and brown color in the reservoir. I want to replace the thermostat and the ECT due to P0125, just to be safe. Also, I'm going to open this head tonight to check for sludge, the itch to know is killing me. What tools/size will I need. Going to autozone now, will re-use gasket with some black silicone gasket maker. Not paying $90 for a fel-pro head gasket.

You're going to take a head off to 'check for sludge' and then re-use the same head gasket? Or are you going to take off a valve cover and re-use the valve cover gasket? Big difference, in my opinion, but the latter is far more likely than the former to reveal evidence of 'sludge.' I would never re-use a head gasket.

LOL!!! You're right, the valve cover, not the head itself. My mistake in wording my frustration. Does anyone knows if I need to take the timing cover off to remove the front valve cover?
