Part identification question, 4d55 (picture)

[skullzaflare]

So, probably gonna be time for a new thread soon? Dunno whether to keep posting here and not clutter things up..

Anyway. After waiting altogether too long for this thing to show up from Cyprus it appears that a 4d56 thermostat housing is not the same as a 4d55 thermostat housing.

Anyone happen to have an extra for a 4d55 I could buy? Or should I consider getting a 4d56 water pump and keep this? This has been quite an exercise in parts hunting.

That is the "water outlet" where the thermostat goes, the piece you bought bolts at the top of the engine by the injection pump. (im interested if you wanna sell it lol)
d55 and d56 water outlet (thermostat on waterpump) are the same

Quite a few of the components for the gas engines are interchangeable with the diesel. The main bearings are the same between the 2.6 and the 4D55. I haven't tried, but they may very well be the same thermo housing.

I could be wrong, but i recall reading the mains were bigger, i know the g54 is 60mm, but i think the d55 is 66mm

G54 thermo housing MIGHT have same bolt pattern, however g54 thermo housing turns almost 90 off intake. The d55 is straight off the water pump

I must admit I am a bit confused by your reply. So the piece I have has nothing to do with the water pump outlet and thermo housing( on any engine?) I can't find where this might go on the other side near the injector pump, is that just for 4d56?

I'd trade for the piece I need if you have an extra xD

that is the piece your top radiator hose connects to. Unfortunately i only have one water outlet for my waterpump

I think the part you are looking for is MD152090
