1UZ themostat to water-pump housing needed

[jeremy]

Anyone have one of these lying around in their pile of un-needed 1UZ parts?



The cast housing, not the plastic bit. The thread for the bleed plug (or whatever it's called) stripped itself when I tried to take it off

tap it out to a bigger thread and use another bung to suit, any engineering outfit should have a suitable tap

Yeah, might have to do that ...just thought it would be easier to throw another one on if someone had one.

Bump ...anybody?

Talked to a few engineers today - I'm told a 7/8" UNF thread would be the best bet, but haven't been able to find a 7/8 unf plug yet ..any clues on where to get one?

use a 7/8 unf bolt and use copper washer to seal, get a engineer to undercut the head of the bolt to give a smooth flat surface also to allow the bolt to go all the way home to seal, or better yet use a dowdy sealing washer, enzed or pirtek will have them, minimal torque required to seal with these
