If you are using any, and I mean any chrome thermostat housing, you better keep and eye on it. Before long, it will eat through and start leaking. The pot metal these things are made from will not hold up, especially the cheap ones. Mr. Gasket is another one. When you chrome it, it breaks the metal down to where it can't take any harsh treatment. Remember, they dip it in acid before the chroming process.
I wanted a chrome housing too, but decided to lay down the money and go with a polished billet one. I didn't feel the need to get stranded by a cheap piece of junk leaking on me.
I've said this many times, probably too many, and I'm quite sure most of you are tired of seeing it, but, you get what you pay for. If you buy it because it's cheap, you will get cheap. Maybe if your expectations are not set too high you won't be too disappointed when it gives up the ship.
