ok anyone who knows acura integra's the main return hose on top of the engine for the coolant system. ok it connects to the radiatorand to the engine. now the part i broke is where it connects to the engine there is a part that has 2 bolts and a gasket. it also has the the bleeder for the coolant system. i torqued it too much and cracked this part but i dont know what its called. i need to know what its called for the junkyard. um its a 91 acura integra ls with a 1999 ls motor. im not sure if the part changes between b18a1 and jdm b18b. thanks for your replies.

Acura calls it a water outlet cover. The OEM part # is 19315-PR4-A01.

oooh so lucky you did not break anything in the head on that one. i did and had to get anew head from a junk yard. watch when you tighten things down on the head and engine. they are aluminum and what feels to be kinda loose can actually be over torque'd. and some of the thiner bolts can also snap. invest in a torque bar from autozone , they are not too expensive. like $30 for a decent one. not the kind with the gay point but one that you twist the bottom. it will come in handy.

Future tip: As you tighten the nut/bolt, squeeze your but cheeks together.........if they start to hurt, you over torqued it.!
As for myself, I just invested in a torque wrench.............!!
