Over the weekend I went to change the thermostat on my '68 Bellett and when I pulled the thermostat housing off it broke into two pieces. On closer inspection it looks to have been cracked for a while and it just needed me to disturb it for it to brake.

Anyway, I hoping that someone out there knows what other engines use the same housing? I know some of you guys have experience with 4z motors and was wondering if they'll fit?

Any advice on this one would be good!

Thanks,
Ross.

Do you have a picture of it? Did you compare with your G200W in the gemini?

Hey, a G200W one might fit.... It needs to have the outlet pipe go out almost directly over one of the bolts... The G161 one is at about a 90 degree angle so no use, but I didn't check the G200W one...

I would also like to know if anyone knows what the correct thermostat rating is? I've picked up one that is 52mm in diameter and opens at 82C. Can anyone confirm this? Brett?
