So I've looked in my usual places for diagrams but the few I've found reference part #s that other places say will not be compatible...it's the 4 cylinder 2.0l and the part I'm looking for is the water outlet pipe that's sticking out of the engine, it's held on with three bolts and a gasket with a pressure-release cap covering it. Mine is rusted so badly it's cracked up and the edges around the cap are bent and warped so it's leaking everywhere.

Thanks,
- Jason
 
why dont you try a junk/salvage yard?
 
Try a Pick and Pull, cant be more than $10............



Nothing on Ebay................:(

Thanks Doug,

I'm actually more north (32024) closest seems to be Tallahassee at ~100mi away, I've been checking local yards of course but no luck yet still hoping to find one somewhere.
 
Tallahassee would have if the motor is still in one piece (91 only had OHC's - regular and turbo) V6's came in 92.

But then again it could be in the same condition as yours.:(

Have Bud's ( above) sent you a pic of the part and they would mail it to you if its good.

Nothing to be saved of yours? ( welding a new piece of pipe)

www.car-part.com listed some others but Bud's was closest.

There's only one place that does welding around here and they charge an arm & a leg for it, I know some folks though so I'm trying to get someone to do it for cheap.

Attempted to contact Bud's earlier to no avail, emailed instead. If anyone has one nearby for cheap (<$80) I'll pay a little extra to have it shipped my way
 
Figured I'd post an update, brought it to a local welding shop after speaking with them and was told it's "inoperable" apparently the crack goes through almost the entire unit...so still searching...

found a cheap one @ http://www.davesdiscountautoparts.com/catalog-1/itemdetail/acdelco-oe-service/15-10579 for $135.20 or ~$150 after shipping...still a bit too much for my tastes for a $800 car though...

EDIT: incidentally this is the one I keep finding that looks entirely wrong but shows everywhere it it's correct: http://www.gmpartscenter.net/pontia...ing-system-scat/?part_name=thermostat-housing

Jason , the AC Delco one is correct, I posted a wanted ad on the JBody forums for you, I'll let you know if someone finds one or has one.

( the guys go junkyard scrounging all the time)
