Thermostat gasket leaking AGAIN!!!!

get a O-RING style housing and enjoy life.
The chrome ones always leak until you sand the chrome surface down with 150 grit sandpaper. Been there done that.

I've got an o-ring style chrome housing here. Go figure.

I don't remember if it leaked or not. I think I just took it off because it looked like cheap chrome dress up junk to me.
