Front body damage

[Maxjeep]

I am flushing my engine coolant and I wanted to replace my thermostat while I have everything apart. My tank was showing some signs of rust but I was able to clean it up really nice. I wanted to put the same brand t-stat back in and I had trouble finding the right one. After a big fail at autozone looking for a Motorad stat I called motorad and the guy was really helpful. He had me get caliper’s and measure mine and he had me send him pics also. He was able to get me a perfect match. O’Rileys part number is 3478 and Napa is 191. Weird because one is a murry and other is Standered. I called him back and he said that Motorad makes them and it will be stamped Motorad. Sure enough it was and I would have never found it without his excellent customer support. I have a 180 stat and the engine builder drilled 2 holes in the flange opposite of each other and I would assume that 1 is for air but I don’t know what the 2nd is for.
