APPLICATIONS • The FSM-XXX-RKIT is a rebuild kit for Improved Racing’s Flow-Series- Motorsports (FSM) family of thermostats. • The rebuild kit can be optioned with the original temperature element, or a different temperature should the needs of the system change.
Figure 2 are for reassembly steps. Tip: Ensure that the O-ring stays in the gland during reassembly. Tip: Perform the thermostat rebuild on a clean and level surface for the easiest rebuild experience, and check out Improved Racing’s videos on https://www.youtube.com/user/Im- rebuilding the FSM thermostat: provedRacing/videos.
