Water Neck / Thermostat Housing Cap

[thepope540]

If someone has a spare that they can take a couple dimension off of I would much appreciate it. I need to know the ID, OD, and bolt spacing. I have the first round of thermostat housing spacers coming in this week and now I'm not sure if the housing gasket I used is from an FS or KL. If you can help me out with dimensions I will give you a small discount on buying a spacer. I would do more, but my margins are really small on these. Thanks guys!

I just removed my stock one today to install a straight water neck so I can get them for you.

Awesome! Would you pm the info, post it here, or shoot me an email - tom@popeperformance.com? If you purchase a PEP product I'll make sure to knock a few dollars off.

Wouldn't a t-stat gasket give you the same information?

 

[thepope540]

Yes, but it turns out that I have multiple gaskets on the shelf with no part numbers and I'm not sure which is which.

Thats the rubber o-ring style gasket that actually fits on the rim of the thermostat. I have a couple paper style gaskets that are the profile of the water neck, but now I'm not sure which is for the FS and which is for the KL. I would just check, but right now I don't have a car with either engine. I'm picking up a spicy, but it doesn't have an engine or trans at all and I sold my blazing last fall. I'm looking forward to getting another msp up and running so I have a test bed / showpiece.

Sorry for the delay, for the thermostat housing on the block the ID is 1 29/32", OD is 2 21/32", and the bolt holes center to center are 2 12/32".

They don't - thats why this is somewhat tricky.

I would have just cut in a groove and put an O-Ring in
