This video is the new thermostat housing assembly installed without the thermostat in yet ..it’s a three step process after you remove back plate sponge snap pins holding the wiring harness and some vacuum lines and covers to access back of motor ..The black backing plate and sponge slide down and to the left to remove them towards the the passenger side than remove bolt from radiator coolant line attached in thermostat housing assembly just let it drop do not remove ..Than unbolt thermostat housing assembly 3 bolts and take out with heater lines attached ...everything slide out to the left ...the bolts removed attached the radiator coolant line and heater lines are used to counterbalance for reinstall ..replace Gasket and O rings on all parts ...it can be done but no one would touch it ..there are a total of 12 bolts that get removed a 15 13 and 10 mil sockets with extension and swivel sockets needed ..I used a 3/4 inch plywood to lay on top of to make it more comfortable working from the top ... I wish I had videos the whole process but it took me three times to do as there were no vids yet to help but after just doing thermostat than heater gasket and O rings ... it is the black 1 1/2 inch approx.. O ring seal on the assembly that is on the inside of the thermostat housing assembly that was faulty...🤠
Type in 2012 Chevy Camaro or compatible..New Thermostat Housing Assembly in search engine and you will see the black O ring seal that is inside the housing...That is what is going bad on the V6 Camaro because it’s a race type engine and the design was Ingenious
