    General Lee today

    Just think of it this way….. He wanted to cover that horrible thing to TRY and make it be cool. It just doesn’t work. But on the bright side for him. All the panels look to be the same color.

    Thermostat gasket leaking AGAIN!!!!

    i got it back together and did the 15lbs that i seen on here the most, but if i need to go tighter is the aviation sealer forgiving enough to torque tighter after it is dry? i see in my manual it says 30ft-lbs, other folks on here are recommending lighter torque as well, one said make sure to...

    Thermostat gasket leaking AGAIN!!!!

    well like i said, the first time i took it off the gasket and sticker part was separated so i assumed the gasket failed, but when i got the new gasket from another store it had the same sticker side to it. so when i installed i didn't use sealer on then sticker ( thought that was the issue) now...

    Thermostat gasket leaking AGAIN!!!!

    i do appreciate all the reply's and help to try and resolve the leak, but i still have not found an answer to "Is the gasket failing?" i can use all the sealer i want but if the gasket sticky surface is removing itself from the gasket it doesn't matter that i used RTV, Aviation, or nothing at...
