again i say the thermostat has tobe held tight. i just went out and looked a ih 135 engine thermo housing. the stat is held tight by the snap ring. the stat is placed into the larger bore and seated to the smaller bore of the stat housing. then the retainer ring is snapped into the groove that is at the surface of the stat flange. problem for me before was that the stat flanges are not as thick as were made years ago, thus mine had a few thousands up/down movement. the engine would not warm up to operating temp. i shimmed the stat tight between the stat flange and snap ring with a aluminum ring i made from some coil stock i had. is your groove rusted up that your not installing the ring where it should go? do you have a smaller bore for the stat to seat to? do you have a aftermarket stat housing? no way should it move a inch. i also had this same problem with a chevy truck engine, (loose stat in housing). hope this helps.
