Howdy,
I noticed a leak at the thermostat housing and thought I needed a new gasket, so i went ahead and replaced the thermostat, thermo gasket, cover and cover gasket. I still had the leak.

I thought maybe it was the upper hose so I took it off and observer the housing as I filled the radiator. The leak was coming from one of the hoses in the rear of the housing. No problem, replace the hose.

Come to find out the metal nipple you attach the hose to is broken off at the housing.

I am thinking the only alternative is to replace the housing.

Does anyone have the complete housing for a 1989 accord LXi fuel injected?

Thanks

 

Thermostats are not that expensive,change it.

 

As stated in the post, I was looking for a complete housing as one of the pipes had broken off the housing.
My fix was to find a pipe the same diameter and JB Weld it into place. It is holding for now and will give me time to go down to the Pick-N-Pull and hopefully find a couple in decent shape

 

Funny, I just posted a similar (I think) issue with my 95 Accord EX. My advise is to go to a junk yard.
