I saw a post on one of the lists a while back about the availability of a
thermostat that would fit a 582 from Napa.
Does anyone have that info, part number or other aplication. Thanks

Deke,
Check out
http://www.airtalk.org/help-needed-582-overheating-vt50456.html. Is
this thread pertinent? I also wondered whether anyone on the list had
success using the 160F aftermarket thermostat. It makes more sense
than the 135F Rotax sells.

Off course you can read the internet or just ask for a professional opinion.
Dave
What I tried to say to Gary (not clear enough I guess) is that the thermostats function in the Rotax is different than that of your car.
In a automotive engine, the thermostat is used to regulate the operating temperature in the engine. They are set at a high temp and open only when the engine gets to operating temperature. The thermostat will open and close regulating the temperature.
In the Rotax it is the radiator and air ducting that is supposed to control the operating temperature of the engine.
The thermostat's only function should be to allow a quicker warm up by blocking the coolant flow. Once the coolant temps are above 140 degrees ( still not at operating temps though ) the thermostat opens and stays open for the entire time of the engine runs.
just my two cents

I put 400 hours on my gray head with that Tstat. Worked for me. If I
recall correctly it required drilling the weep holes. It was 160F. I don't
know about the blue head though.

I have that Tstat in 4 different engines around here, with no issues. Summer temps run 150-175 winter temps 140 or so.
Dave, your not the only one that flys behind a 582, many other also have PERSONAL experience. While you are a rotax "dealer" you are not the worlds leading authority on all things rotax or kitfox. While you intentions may be good, you come across more as a P3ck3r head than a good resource for info. (yeah I know I can be the same way but I have tried to tone it down a bit... mine is in humor, your seems to be in arrogance.
These planes and engines are "experimental" and as such, we dont have to use only manufacture overpriced parts. That is the beauty of these planes. If I can save 100 bucks on a Tstat, that is 100 I can put into the tank and get more enjoyment out of my plane.
