Mine has done 20K and I am going to get one and replace it next time the tupperware comes off. Its just a matter of time as its plastic. For $8-10 I dont think its worth the risk of having a failure on the road.

Hi All. Ihad this tee piece pop on me last year when my 2002 1300 overheated because of a failing fans relay.Have since found out that this is not  a rare occurence on this vintage.I replaced with a new black plastics/ nylon item which was the genuine Honda spare . In subsequent researches it appears this item is so specfied,apparenty as a weak link  to minimize worse damage in this particular water circuit.Possible I suppose? Ed.  :slvr13
