People remove the left side bank thinking it will help with cooling the oil and transmission fluid therefore better cooling for the engine a big myth it doesn't help install both like they were design to have 


good luck

thanks clifford&bob both of these motors on the left side have a housing that does not accept a thermostat. it is fully open   does not have the ring where the stat set on would have to change the housing to put the stat in thanks jim

Look down by the oil cooler the engines may have had the ALCC cooling for the turbo a picture would be worth a 1000 words,what are the engines from

  So would only having a Tstat in right side, none in left, be why 8V71 warms up right side faster?
