Thermostat MotoRad or Duralast
Duralast is ok. Does not have to be OEM. It will work just as good
motorad from rockauto is doing me good so far
I've used Autozone's Duralast thermostats without issue on my old Integra.
MOTORAD 7416203 with 203 temp is good.
The SNN-2000-195 model is good and I have zero complaints about it. I've used them for awhile now.
I remembered the old thermostat looking like it did, so I waited a few hours to let the engine cool down then swapped the new thermostat for the old one, turned the engine on and no overheating. I've been driving the car as it is for a while now without any problems other than I can't drive long-distance without it running too hot (ex. I drove 4 hours a couple times a year traveling for college, and in the summer the car sometimes would overheat by the time I got to my destination).
If your thermostat is from Nappa and says Motorad on it. Then replace it immediately. They are junk and stick closed.
I noticed mine is a "motorad" and it's the cheapest shittiest one and it's been giving me problems.
Duralast thermostat? They are a piece of shit!
I had the same issues, less than 4 moths, this brand doesn't work.
