Hi all,
I'm putting the head back on my X after upgrading the cam.
I now realize that the thermostat housing to head gasket I have must be for an older model as it is not quite the same as the one that came off the car (it doesn't have the same cutout shape nor the extra hole). Though the 3 mounting holes perfectly line up. The old one doesn't really look re-usable.
I checked a couple suppliers and no stock. Can I use the old one or should I make my own (thick paper stuff from local auto parts store) ? Can I just cover over the extra hole - it doesn't seem to go anywhere ?
Any suggestions ?
Thanks
Chuck
