sito Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Not sure I can do next week as I was trying to replace my thermostat earlier. The thermostat housing stripped and the bolts just turn in place now... ugh my cars dead in the water until I can find another thermostat housing.

xxjoeyxxeb Posted July 29, 2012 Author Share Posted July 29, 2012 Ill check and see if i still have an extra. Have you ever used a helicoil? I think thats what its called. You drill the stripped hole, tap it to a larger size, then insert a metal thread that is stock size. I had to do it on a header bolt. They come in a comllete package.

sito Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 I was thinking of going the helicoil route but I'm not sure if there would be enough room to drill/tap. I'm also weary of the housing itself as upon closer inspection it seems to have had better days. I'd rather try to get a replacement first before I try repairing it. I've been trying to source another one and I think I may have found one so if I can pick it up hopefully my car will be running soon.

xxjoeyxxeb Posted July 29, 2012 Author Share Posted July 29, 2012 Ya I forgot the thermostat housing has pretty thin walls. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sito Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I got my car up and running! Bad part is I still think its slowly overheating... I think I need a new rad... Does anyone want to try to grab lunch tomorrow? If I keep it local I can still drive the Z for a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
