hi, i am trying to seperate the thermostat housing from the block on a 1969 85ho v4.<br /><br />i have removed two screws / bolts that secure<br />the housing to the block but it still wont budge.<br /><br />i am not sure if this is just the gasket sticking or if there are more bolts hidden by the cowling.<br /><br />as this is a $300 bakelite part i do not want to use too much muscle and risk breaking it.<br /><br />can anyone tell me if there are more bolts securing the housing to the block and how much muscle can these units handle before sending me bankrupt?

The long bakelite housing has four (4) screws.
