Hold a can of compressed air you can buy at any computer store or hardware store upside down to get a freezing cold spray. Be careful not to freeze your hand, unless using it for warts, then people do that!

Before installing any pressed in parts, or anything that needs to fit inside something else and it is going to be a tight squeeze, freeze the part you will be pressing in. Freezing metal makes it shrink, and the bearing will press in easier if you do this fast. To freeze it you can either put it in a really cold freezer for an hour at least, use liquid nitrogen, dry ice, or an ice, water, salt bath.

Pro tip: some mechanics use liquid nitrogen to do this, but if you do not have access to nitrogen (I personally don’t) you can flip a can of computer keyboard cleaner compressed air upside down and it will get freezing cold! Just be careful not to freeze your hands on accident or hurt yourself.

Walt West's wish was to drive the '55 Ford he bought brand new and and parked in a shed for 47 years.. His baby boomer "kids" spent 3 months getting the '55 fixed for one last drive.

You can install a thermostat backward and upside-down:
The shorter end (Arrow B) of the thermostat always points toward the radiator hose, and away from the engine.

Therefore, the deep end (Arrow C) of the thermostat always gets installed going towards, or into, the engine. (Arrow A) in the photo is the new thermostat gasket on the new thermostat, make sure to always use a new thermostat gasket if your Factory Service Manual calls for one.

DIYers and beginner mechanics always forget to put the thermostat gasket on the thermostat, as some new thermostats do not come with the gasket. If you do not put a thermostat gasket on you will have a leaky thermostat and air entering the cooling system. Meaning it will cause the car to overheat after time.
