Subject: Thermostat housing =
leaking like
Crazy!!
Dear Syncronauts
I just =
installed a
new thermostat in my '87 syncro and carefully put the housing back =
together
and the housing is leaking like a sieve !!
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 back together, =
poured in
the coolant again and its just raining in there!!! I cant figure =
it out!
Its not even under pressure! There are two flat surfaces that come =
together
and are flush (the top half & the bottom) and there's a screw at =
each
corner that holds them in place. There's no rubber o ring or =
anything
like that to make the seal.
=
&nb=
sp;I
can see the coolant just flowing out in between the seam. It =
looks
flush! I carefully screwed it down tightly with alot of pressure. =
But
not so much as to crack the plastic top.
Any ideas??
Thanks,
Mystified,
Peter
