Thermostat housing aftermarket/OEM? 700 1990

posted by  someone claiming to be tom108 on  Tue May 22 02:38 CST 2007 [RELATED]

There is a slow leak both at the top of the T-housing where the top rad hose joins the the T-housing and around the connection with the engine block leaving white residue at both places and I can smell it.Leak is only maybe half a litre per half a year,I want to fix it and instead scrubbing and sanding pitted and residue laden t-housing get a new one.
eeuropart sells an aftermarket one for 12.90
Fcpgroton sells an "oem" one for 18.00.
Is Scantech considered oem?What would you get for the oem?
thanks for sharing experience


BTW 5 yrs ago the bolt were broken too.Took me some persistence with a vice grip/and penetrating oil to free it and bolts replaced.
