Follow the large radiator inlet hose from the radiator, to the thermostat housing. Once the housing is located, simply remove the housing to expose the thermostat. It may be necessary to remove the air cleaner and duct assembly, and the crossover exhaust pipe, as well.

    NOTE_ There is another larger hose that runs to the water pump. This is not the hose to follow. Use the second hose. it will lead to the thermostat housing.

Follow the upper radiator hose to the thermostat housing. Its REAL hard to get at, If the intake manifold is leaking coolant (common), you can replace it while the intake manifold is off.

You did not mention replacing the thermostat. That's the first thing to do. May I ask what prompted you to replace the intake gasket and radiator? Was this due to a previous overheating problem? MOre information will be helpful. Thanks.

Where is thermostat housing on oldsmobile sillouette 200

The Thermostat is located between the Cylinder Banks on the Intake Manifold Base. You will find a Bleeder Valve located very close to it and the Upper Radiator hose is connected to a formed metal tube which also holds the Thermostat in place.

Rapidly rising temperature in 2000 Olds Silhouette

Could easliy be your water pump. The coolant in the radiator isn't being forced through the engine by the water pump causing the coolant to be cool and motor overheating. A thermostat can also cause this problem, but I belive it's the water pump.
