    Default 1uz Thermostat Housing leaking

    It seems it's a never ending leak this f'ing motor.

    Now the Thermostat housing is leaking, but it's leaking back at the round junction point where it joins to the cross-over pipe between the two heads.

    It's got the big round join, that appears to be just metal on metal, but not actually a fixed one piece.

    Can you repair those things or do you have to replace them? Is there a gasket in there? Do they come apart?

    yerp thats right, just an o-ring that goes around the actual thermostat, nice and easy.
    Keeps everything looking nice and tidy.
