Get rid of that "kink" in your upper radiator hose, to improove the flow.

Just remember, if you mill the intake surface, the bolt threads will be shorter and you have more of a chance to bottom out and not get the housing tight enough to prevent a leak. Shorter bolts, double flat washers, or double gaskets are your only options. I don't like using taps to clean threads but I do use thread chasers and follow up by blowing out the blind bolt hole with compressed air.
I saw that. Cut a inch off the radiator end and refit the hose. It should exit the thermostat housing parallel to the radiator.

I have that same thread chaser set. I bought it from my friend who was a Cornwell tool rep, yrs ago.
These sets are the best for cleaning/repairing threads. i use min alot.
They also come in handy to find out what thread, is in an unknown blind hole.

thanks , I did add washers but probably best to double up. The machinist is in the family and he said he didnt take much off, i wish i knew how much. Still got enough thread to add those washers which is helpful.
