'96 Thermostat Housing Gasket Part Numbers (1 Viewer)

[ProjectsNMotion]

My LX has a slow coolant leak, and it seems to be coming from somewhere on the thermostat housing. My best guess is that the gasket between the thermostat housing and the heating hard pipe on top has failed, because coolant is pooling up on top of the thermostat housing, but everything taller than the thermostat housing is dry. Does anyone have a parts diagram or a list of the gasket part numbers? I want to remove the entire housing and replace all of the gaskets while I'm in there. Thanks.

There are large O-rings inside that pipe that runs up to the head,
could be the source of the leaks. Try a search for Oring/s (or O-ring)
pipe leak

Here's one discussion:

New thermostat = New coolant leak

Last week finished up a radiator replacement including thermostat, gasket, hoses, etc... and have now found a coolant leak that wasn't there before. I can't tell exactly where it's coming from. It is only leaking when hot and driving. Have not been able to reproduce it sitting in the garage...

Awesome, thanks, I'll look into it

@beno Can you tell me the part numbers for all of the gaskets and o-rings associated with the thermostat housing, including the pipe that connects the thermostat housing to the cylinder head? Thanks

Why is it my job to do this?

Are you paying me to provide you with this information?

This is exactly the sh1t that made me sick of the LC community and made me want to retire....

“Calling people out” to give you information for free has to be the biggest con job that social media companies have perpetuated in modern society.

Rant off.

(3) 90301-29006 O-Ring

There is a smaller pipe inside the Water BP outlet that has O-Rings on it. Possibly the source of your leak.
