I've got my 2.1 apart to replace the water pump and the black coolant pipe that runs from the pump to the thermostat housing on the drives side looks a little corroded inside. I'm trying to find a part number to order one up or locate one. I cant read the number on it--to much paint on it. or seem to find one on the web through the usual parts providers. does anyone know the part number? its 87 gl syncro how common is it for these to rust? how much are they typically? does anyone have one they want to part with? I didnt see any leaks out of it--but its hard to see up by the water pump. looks cooroded where the reinforcement flange is welded on. any help is appreciated now I just gotta decide since i have so much ripped apart if i should just do the head gaskets to |
