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!

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.
