I had to repalce the thermostat housing and the o-ring, also did the thermostat since I was there. Hpe this helps-------------L8RS

I bought an 03 ZX3 Focus with the 2.0 Zetec engine and it has the leaky thermostat water outlet housing, and from what I can gather the Ford replacement housing is still CRAP! and will do the same thing before long! So I found that Dorman makes a replacement kit for this engine. The part number is #902-201 and it comes with the,
housing,
The thermostat,
the cover,
seals,
and some sealant.
Right now the item is out of stock! but has ANYBODY installed the Dorman housing kit?
Is it just a re-packaged bag of Motorcraft parts?
If its better than I'll wait for it, if not then I'll just go with the motorcraft.
Thanks!
