I believe there's an O ring gasket on each end. I've never replaced one with a head or intake manifold on the motor... those things will make it difficult but probably not impossible.

i meant to add in i have the intake manifold off already. i ordered have both o ring and the pipe i payed about 35 bucks for them off of bkhondaparts.i think i just have to take the two bolts out that go into the block to hold the housing. im changing the thermostat just to be safe and do preventive maintnence also

there are o-rings on either end. you should replace them both.
