Yep I think iirc my Haynes said to put it at 12. But I think I was reading the specs for the 3rz, that or it was just wrong. Can't remember.

The 3RZ is "up", something like 11:00 IIRC.

I love that it's called a jiggle valve.

Put all hoses on properly fill up radiator till you cant fill it any more and you dont need funnel just pour it nice and slow, then fill the reservior till its full put the cap on start the engine let it warm up make sure the top rad hose is hot take it for a trip around a few blocks park it pop off rad cap slowly as it will be hot and pressurized so use a rag as well pour in more coolant as needed shouldt be a whole lot put cap on, shut hood, done, doesnt get much more simple then that

Yip, the 2.7 tstat is up and the 3.4 is down.

Okay all,

I pulled the T-Stat out and turned it so that the jiggle valve is in the 6 o'clock position. Followed the simple instructions of filling the radiator, letting it idle with the cap off, then taking it for a short drive, taking the cap off and topping off. Everything has been running great, and no temperature spikes.

Thanks again!
