So, im refreshing my coolant system and finding a ton of corrosion from prior abuse, likely due to the green stuff that the prior owners clearly used

In particular, this manifold union is f-ed up good.




i’ve identified the part, it this guy right here, but as you can see, it’s been discontinued. Any ideas where I can find it? Other suggestions?

heres the manifold diagram. You can see it just to the left/below the manifold top.

they have it listed with a price of $11. Don’t know if they’ll be able to fill the order, but you might get lucky and they happen to have one collecting dust on a shelf. Good luck

Kind of recall Lakeland and partsdeal coming from the same address...

Learn to braze and fabricate, hit the salvage yard, beg and plead LCE, call Jim at yotajims or his ex-wife at that other place yotayard, or failing that Soladat in commerce city on CL (pretty sure that's an ex employee of one or the other..)

Nothing wrong with green coolant. Just gotta change it every couple years like every other coolant.

if the o.d. of your pipe is 8mm I've found 1/8"npt male 5/16" to be very close
I prefer Toyota coolant, but that damage isn't from green, that's from someone who ran straight water.

You guys are the best, thanks for the leads. I'll try that order Cat.

Gotcha, yeah wouldnt be surprised if they were running muddy pond water from the look of it. yeah there's so much caked debris in the pipes that I'm flushing each engine section separately before i reassemble and run the coolant flush mix though it. Based on what I've seen in there, I'm afraid of getting dislocated chunks stuck in every which pipe.

Any sections in particular that I should investigate for blockages before I run the flush? The thermostat cover looked kinda gunked inside, not sure if I should rip that off or just clean the mouth of the pipe union and call it a day.

So far I've:

• cleared and flushed the rear heater
• cleared and flushed front heater
• cleared out all coolant unions with a steel pipe-cleaner brush
• removed and flushed the oil cooler
