Default Boss 5.4 thermostat balance pipe o rings

Hello, can someone please help to find the best place to get the o rings on the thermostat balance pipe that runs water between the two heads on the 5.4 boss motor. Mine is leaking a bit of coolant from the o ring on the drivers side head.

Get them from America. Summit Racing ect. Usually the pipe is stuffed. They have total replacement kits utilising coolant hose in America.

What month/year 5.4 do you have as they are different for the RH bank.

1/7/2002 - 30/9/2005 RH: 3L3Z 8C387 AA, LH: 3L3Z 8C388 AB

1/10/2005 on RH: 3L3Z 8C387 AB, LH: 3L3Z 8C388 AB

I think the only one you can still buy from Ford is the later RH one. 3L3Z 8C387 AB.

The cross pipe has a part number of 3L3Z 8C368 LA.
