Reische 170° Performance Thermostat???

Tomc612 · March 02, 2014, 11:03:08 PM

Sure don't look like a Reische 170°, it has 160 stamped on it and says Germany/Even flow.Any ideas? I logged on my LMS account and ordered the Reische 170° Performance Thermostat..I don't understand why no gasket and came in no box.

Two pictures of one I had from this summer (customer was complaining about the blemishes in the brass)

I have heard that LMS might be going to 160. I am surprised there was no box or o-ring. Can you re-use the stock gasket?

No O-ring required, just replace with factory one it's not a problem.
They may have found a new source from overseas it looks like.

I ordered one directly from Reische and it did not look like that . They make there own t-stats . I did not take a photo before Install but it had 170 stamped on it and came with a new O ring.

We'll send you what we want with no explanation and you'll like it.

Why not call them and ask them what's going on, I'm sure they will have some explanation that you can pass on to us...

I will update soon..I left a few emails already and Im waiting for an explanation for why a 160 is needed. I don't think this is going to work good with our cars.

That's odd. Their website does not even list thermostats for the SHOs.

It's always been 160 degrees if my memory serves me correctly.

I was on the Reische website yesterday and noticed a sign that says Livernoise is no longer a distributor for them.

Sorry, I wasn't pointing you out specifically, just remembering the convo and why I had the pictures.
I should have taken mine out of the Flex and looked at it after all the hard work it put in.
