Re: The Otterstat



Had the exact same thing happen to me, and in the worst part of town 
too! A better idea than the nylon wrap is a stainless steel hose 
clamp. Just pick up the thinnest, longest one you can find. Grind 
just a little off the edges in the center to fit between the 
connectors on the otterstat, and never worry again. I've had the 
alternator belt go out on me many times before, and can safely say 
that at failed water pump doesn't heat up the engine as fast as lost 
coolant does. By the time I pulled over when my otterstat blew, the 
temp needle hit 260. Luckily, my engine survived.

But I must agree, the clip for the otterstat was not a properly 
thought out idea.
