(Even with a new stock cover, it won't take long.) Or you can install a thoughtfully engineered all-aluminum thermostat housing cover from Active Autowerke and never experience this type of failure again. Sure sounds like a no-brainer to us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCurrently there is no factory upgraded part to this problem. This is an aluminum extruded part that has all of the openings machine properly to fit like factory; from the mounting bolt holes, the seating of the thermostat to the sealing opening for the ORANGE gasket. Forged to exact factory tolerances, everything fits and this unit is a true easy bolt-on especially suited for racing or load conditions like heavy traffic, where engine temp can rise rapidly. The housing is guaranteed never to break from overheating or over-tightening, and its CNC machined surface ensures a precise seat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnit comes complete with a new ORANGE sealing gasket; a new thermostat is recommended but not included. For hotter climates, a 71 degree thermostat is recommended over the 82 degree unit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Active AutoWerke","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52025726927140,"sku":"THERMOSTAT-KIT","price":56.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/6801\/0532\/files\/THERMOSTAT-KIT-1.jpg?v=1771508983","url":"https:\/\/autohousesupply.com\/products\/active-autowerke-m50-s50-s52-high-performance-thermostat-housing-cover-e36-325-328-m3-z3m-thermostatkit","provider":"AutoHouseSupply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
