are all the suzuki thermostats the same diameter and bolt spacing?
Ie from 2 stroke LJ to current grand vitaras (and everything inbetween?)

gasket or thermostat diameter as well?

F & G series motors are the same diametre right?

[BlueSuzy]

Possibly, But different cars require different setups.

eg. 90's 90degree swift housing fits on 98+ baleno thermo housing.

1.3 Sierra is different. And im sure many others will be too.

The diameter of the actual thermostat is the same though, g13a-g16b But they will be different temps also.

Unsure about other series motors. F,M,J,H etc

Isn't that the answer to the OP's original question?

[BlueSuzy]

No, he was asking if they are ALL the same. Including bolt spacing.

Well it turns out i needed a gasket anyway for my G13 and i went to Repco laid down the exuberant price of $2.50. i asked him if it fit the 1L as well and according to his system yes. I know their databases are exactly fail proof but if its the case i'd say the f8a and f10a are the same.

The gasket is a little 'big'on the outside leading to believe ists a generic sizing for various vehicles. Now to find out about M J H

Just making thinking of making a to scale template for a Forget-what-its-called-reducer plate to go in place of the thermostat in the event it seizes and i am a long way from home (running an engine without a thermostat for extended periods... not good) so i thought it be nice to add a list of compatible models in a pdf format

Surely carrying a spare thermostat would be an easy and fairly cheap and it it did seize shut somehow I'm sure you could MacGvyer that shit slightly open with somethign like a ballpoint pen and a rock

I think of it more like condoms... you get to a stage you carry it around to give to other people who aren't as thoughtful as you are so they can be on their way

Why the hell should that be your problem??? Why not carry spare belts, hoses, springs, shocks for every Toyota, Nissan, Mitsu, Suzuki on the road too?
