I had a similar problem when I did my HG last year. I dropped my head off at a shop and they called me a couple days later to tell me they couldn't use it. The water channels on the original head (at 250k) had corroded too badly.

Anyone have tricks to get the aluminum nipple out of the thermostat housing? I tried a few things and it wouldn't budge. Now I have vise grip teeth marks that may lead to leaking down the road. I considered a blind bearing removal tool on the end of a slide hammer, but since it's currently...

Yep. Just the pulley, washer, and nut.

EDIT: Should have one being shipped to me. I changed the belts on my 1994 FZJ80, and like an idiot, forgot to tighten the lock nut on the pulley. So it spun off somewhere. I'm looking for the pulley and everything in front of it (lock nut, washer, etc.) shipped to 92123. Thanks!

I don't have it with me right now so I can't get a picture, but it's enough that I'm willing to pay a few bucks to replace it if it's not horribly expensive. Well, the water passages in the cylinder head, for starters. I started on a "simple" head gasket replacement, and I'm pretty deep down...

Thanks. I guess I could have been a bit clearer. The part I'm after is the one the red arrow is pointing at in the image, and the one that's in the eBay ad. I suppose it's not called the thermostat housing, but I don't know what the official name is, either.

I was replacing the thermostat on my '94 FZJ80 and found that the housing for the thermostat has some pretty serious corrosion around the seat for the thermostat/gasket. I figured it would be simple to replace that part instead of filling the gaps with RTV, but I can't find the part number for...

I'm trying to tell if the triangular water passages in this picture, next to cylinder 6, are corroded, or just slightly discolored. Are they still flush and true with the mating surface? I know you'd prefer to sell local, but if you're willing to ship, please let me know. Thanks.

Do you have any pictures of the bottom of the head?
