Can someone check something on their car for me

[Black Stampede]

I seemed to have lost one of my water pump bolts while it was off so i was wondering if someone could yank one for me and check its size and length etc. Ok now which bolt it is. There is a bolt pretty much directly on the top of the pump in the center. It is 1 bolt to the left of that. I would greatly appreciate it.

Also, a random question. Anyone know where I can get a thermostat housing? I think mine is slightly cracked and it is causing my slight coolant leak underneath.

Thanks in advance!

I went straight to Ford for the thermostat housing. I can't remember exactly how much it was but I think it was over a hundred dollars. I was a little upset at the price I got a discount too!

you got ripped off, aftermarket buddy, never go to ford.

OUCH, $100?

They have some on summit pretty cheap. Or you can get the colored ones...I think they're still under a hundred too

advanced auto sells them for ~10 and they even have the screw hole tapped and ready for an aftermarket temp sensor


but their iron, so you gotta paint it before you install or itll rust up

They are pretty much all different.

When i changed my water pump, I forgot to mark them so i just put them in and if they fit they went in. And it works fine.

I heard about some of the aftermarket ones leaking. I didn't want any problems. For me it's worth it to spend some extra money to make sure things won't be a problem.

i would rather save $90+ and chance a leak

also only ones ive heard leak is the chrome ones. with RTV tho i dont think they would leak at all

 

[trav_19]

yeah the only ones i have ever heard a problem with are chrome necks as well but if you got the money to blow its your not me i would have used the 90 i saved for something else
