No, nothing and the bolts look like they've been there a loong time. I can try putting PB Blaster on them but it doesn't appear it would be able to penetrate tothe threads.

Yeah, worried about breaking bolts. Mess I don't care about because if I get the housing off clean I'll likely use the opportunity to give the block a good cleaning and touch up - it NEEDS it.

I'm at work and the only engine picture I've got is a crappy cell phone pic from when I first bought the truck and you can't see anything. There's nothing on the T stat housing, only a pipe plug on top of the waterpump. So clearly I can rig up something to put hose water in there but with the T stat still in, I'm only going to be flushing what's outside the block... DOH!
