Thermo Housing Leaking??
My buddy replaced his Thermo.....and it is leaking a lot!
I am going ot go over there after work to check it out, but I was wondering if you guys have any ideas??
I know the torque specs are 15-20lbs.......so I think he over-torqued it. I asked him if there is any corrosion on it and he said no.......what else could it be?
I am going to cut a new gasket with some gasket material I have, and then goop it up with some gasket sealant. Then I am going to torque it properly to the right specs..........am I missing anything??
I just don't understand what he could of done...it is not that hard to change a thermo?!?
