Question Oil thermo shim procedure work with shot thermo pellet?

I got mine out and its stuck in the cold position. I noticed in the shim procedure there is a working oil thermo pellet being used. Do i need a new pellet to do this? Or will doing this not only fix my low oil pressure but make it constant regardless of cold/hot temps?

Doing the shim procedure does not matter if the original oil thermo pellet works or not.&nbsp If you got a new one, why do you need to mess with it?&nbsp After it's shimmed, oil will be flowing throughout the engine full-time.

thxs Ted, i didn't buy a new one, and now i won't. Too bad i didn't read the whole thing, I couldn;t get my impact gun in there even with my universal, so i took the rad out and wasted some time.
