I will be replacing the coolant in my AE93 Corolla with the redtop 4age motor. Going to replace the thermostat as well. Just wondering, what temp rating thermostat do I need, and is there a specific part number for it, or are all thermostats the same size, with only the temp they open up being the difference between them?

Is the current thermostat faulty? if it's not don't replace it.

Not sure if it is faulty. As the coolant is rust colour, I'm thinking it may be a good idea to replace the thermostat as well. Car has never overheated, gets up to slightly under 1/2 way on the temp gauge at most. But it can take a while to get up to operating temp on colder days. Car does run a bit rich also.

replace the thermostat with a genuine part, while the coolant's drained take the radiator to a radiator place to have the core unblocked. They remove one of the tanks and clear the core tubes with a steel rod. If it's never been serviced before it will be at least 40% blocked.
