Subject:      Correct location for thermostat housing O-ring
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1

On my Vanagon (2.1L), I took apart the thermostat
housing to put in a working thermostat.  After I
put it back together, it had a slight leak.

Everything is clean and happy and the O-ring is
in good shape.

I put everything back together the way it was,
with the O-ring on TOP of the thermostat.

But if you look at illustration 16-07 in the
ETKA, it shows the O-ring UNDER the thermostat.
This doesn't make a lot of sense to me -- As I
recall there's a bevel on the top part of the
housing which (I assume) is to push the O-ring
outward.

Can anyone confirm the correct location of the
O-ring relative to the thermostat?  The archives
aren't working for me tonight.  Maybe I'm asking
too much of the server!

Thank you,
