It can be done by using an 1/8th inch brass ferrule filed down to 0.090", but it easier to get an aftmarket.
If you can find the spacer, you disassemble the thermostat by compressing the the spring and retainer and giving it a twist. Then put the spacer inside the housing and put the guts back in.
Better instruction are in Chevy LS1/LS Performance. I bought it at my local parts store.
