  • Whats its called????

    Ok, Im replacing the headgasets and the intakes upper and lower gaskets. Someone was stating that when you replace these parts, you need to replace this plastic piece because it breaks. I need to know what this piece is called so I have it there when I put everything back together.

    Can anyone help me on this?

    IDK what it is, but it's the 90* plastic coolant elbow going from the Tensioner assembly into the intake. Go to a dealer and tell them that and they'll be able to find it for you. It's ~$15 for it. Advanced Auto/Auto Zone don't have it separately, but it does come with the tensioner assembly if you buy a new one.

      I just bought one at autozone the other day. It was 4bucks. It was called a heater hose joint or something like that. Right behind the counter.Bring it in and let them see it.

          When I needed mine advance and autozone did not have it but Pep Boys did. It was like 4-5 bucks, think the dealer charged me 8 or something once.
