Water Pump Thermostat Guide Plate-----------------
In the aluminum water pump housing between the water pump & the head on the 3R# engines used in the Corona RT43/52, Stout RK41/41L, Crown RS40L/41L, and in the 3P used in the PK32 & 5R used in the RK101, there is a stamped sheet metal part that the thermostat sets on top of to position it between the water pump housing & the thermostat cover. Most of these are rusty and bad.
I have had these reproduced as a machined aluminum ring about 56.91mm OD x 45.08mm ID x 5.9mm Thick.
16128-40010 plate, water pump thermostat guide $18.25
