Dear Syncronauts
I just installed a new thermostat in my '87 syncro and c=
arefully put the housing back together and the housing is leaking like a sie=
ve !!
I took it apart again and cleaned it all out where the top & bottom of=
the housing meet. Everything looks fine! I carefully put it bac=
k together, poured in the coolant again and its just raining in there!!! &nb=
sp;I cant figure it out! Its not even under pressure! There are two flat sur=
faces that come together and are flush (the top half & the bottom) and t=
here's a screw at each corner that holds them in place. There's no rub=
ber o ring or anything like that to make the seal. &=
nbsp;
I can see the coolant just flowing out in be=
tween the seam. It looks flush! I carefully screwed it down tightly wi=
th alot of pressure. But not so much as to crack the plastic top.
Any ideas?? Thanks,
Mystified,
Peter
