    Hey guys my thermostat housing cracked while taking it off to do timing belt The side that goes against the block.

    I found 1 off a 2005 and it looks they now make them 1 piece cast as mine is made of 2 pieces.

    Anyone know if it should work the same?

    Here you can see how its 2 pieces on my original housing here:

    They seemed to switch to this style?

    If you have a 2000, I'd stick with one from a 00-04.
