What is this piece called?
First of all I'd like to thank cbx1047cc for the awesome engine shot. I hope he doesn't mind me using his picture.
So while installing my headers this past weekend I broke the little black plastic piece coming off the unit pictured below. I need to buy a replacement but I don't know what it's called or what it does. Thanks!

I think it's one of those things you put in a turkey to tell you when it's done. When it pops, you're engine is warmed up.

Seriously, it appears to be a sensor/sending unit of some sort.

Coolant temp sender, as several here have already indicated. I broke the plastice connector piece in one of my many forays into taking the heads off. The replacement was only about 13 bucks, if I remember correctly. Be aware that you will have coolant pouring out when you pull it to replace it. Also, use thread sealant paste - not tape - if it doesn't already come with the paste pre-applied.

That's a strange coincidence.
