I'm confused. I was thinking that was the thermo switch/sensor, since it
labeled such on the FAQ:
http://www.tegger.com/hondafaq/overh...ndex/index.htm
(photo next to "Thermo Sensor Check")

Are the thermo sensor/thermostat one and the same?

Also, tnx for the tip on using an OEM part, I'll be sure to do that.
