Hey guys I have a 84 accord lx with the 1.8L in it an i'm trying to locate a thermostat housing for it. no parts stores or junkyards seem to be able to locate it here. i need the actual housing that goes between the engine and the housing outlet which is what parts stores keep trying to sell me. any help would be severely appreciated as right now the car cannot be driven and i need to get it back on the road asap. thanks

 

Sounds like junkyard time. What part of Ohio are you from? I live in Cincinnati

 

Thermostat 'case' is pointed out in the attached pic.
Thermostat 'cover' is the part the hose attaches to.
If the cover bolts broke off in the case, you can remove the case and have any machine shop remove the broken bolts and retap the holes.
the Case should be available at the dealer P/N 19320-PD2-010 Approx $45
The special 'D' ring gasketthat fits against the head is P/N 19313-PC6-000 $2 You'll need it if you remove the case from the head.
You might want to remove the dist to get to those 12mm nuts holding the case to the head, so you could get a dist. 'O' ring for that as well.
Iseem to think that, that same part from a carbed [Lx/Dx]86-89 Accordwill also work, but it has a slightly different part number.

yeah thats the part i need. but not because of broken screws or whatnot. the little outlet to the hose on the side broke off of it. any junkyard i've called doesnt have it. i have both gaskets and a new thermostat and outlet for when i change the part if i can get my hands on it. for that price though i do belive i may just go through a dealer and get it over with. thanks for the help. btw i'm from greenville ohio for the guy that asked. about 1.5-2 hours north of you.
