I still have the basement air conditioner, cant even test that as its to cold here already. I have pressure gauges to fill and bleed with i just didn't have a fill neck on the tank. Couldn't find a pressure test plug in town to fit. I have since re-soldered a fill neck back on and it should work.
I was thinking about how i can modify the thermostat holder to accommodate a standard tank high limit thermostat. 40 bucks for a water heater rebuild kit vs 450 for a thermostat. Further research has led me to know this isn't possible as the thermostat cant go high enough to account for engine heat. The workaround from Rudy will be just fine for me.
For now though i have fully insulated the case and placed all the stainless panels back on, might have cleaned them up with a gentle buff.
