Title: 8V71 thermostat housing gasket
Post by: peenhead on June 06, 2015, 01:01:10 PM
Looking for the part numbers for the thermostat housing gasket,8V71, NAPA would probably be good or a place to order online.
Thanks,

Make your own-- buy some gasket material
from AZone, etc., and use a ball peen/flat edge  hammer to trace out the gasket.  Basic mechanics. 

--No name on this one.

I believe you will find two different kinds of thermostats.    My 4106 has bypass thermostats and the regular ones don't work.   Without thermostats the coolant is not sent thru the radiator.
