as i was tighting it down with the RMM spacer it snaped. Whats it called and where would I find one?

Thanks.

 

Not sure what it is called but it houses the thermostat.

 

Ah thermostat housing so where can I find one of these? Didnt TTturbopimp sell one of these like a year ago? I wonder where I can get an extra.

 

Give Steve at Carson Toyota a call. Might be hard to find one of those at a salvage yard.
If you've never replaced your thermostat, now would be a good time while you have the housing off -just peventative insurance.

 

You can get it from a junk yard or brand new from a local dealer. Most junk would not want to sell it because that will alter a complete motor. I am not sure how much it is from a dealer. However, there are many members in CL would have it extra one. ALL 1UZFE are the same. GS430 would not work.

 

that's a rare part to break, Chris, I guess you have to buy one from dealer!!
get some upgraded themostat too...

How is the work going??

 

I just broke the peice behind the hose outlet while changing the t-belt and waterpump, is that entire unit called a thermostat housing, or the peice that attaches to the hose is called the thermostat housing.

thanks all.

 

If you really really can't find one. Then take it to a machine shop. Get them to reweld it and grind it smooth. It will probably cost about $100 to do, but if you have no other option then getting it repaired will probably be your own choice.

 

I think its like 50 at the stealer, so it should be all good.

 

I have one because I'm using a custom one with my TT kit. PM me if your interested.

Thats good searching Lextek but look at the date of the thread, he broke it 2 years ago. Pretty sure he got it fixed already. LOL.
