Subject: Any recommended =
sealant for
o-rings?
Volks:
Yesterday I started replacing my =
thermostat and
performing a drain, flush and refill on the coolant system on Miss =
Blue, my
'87 GL. In removing the top to the thermostst housing (TH), 2 of the =
bolts
sheared off. I had to remove the lower part of the TH from the engine =
block in
order to drill out the sheared bolts. There is a rubber o-ring gasket =
between
the TH and the engine block that I will replace when I reinstall it. =
Should I
put any sort of sealant on this o-ring when I reinstall the TH? Any
suggestions would be appreciated. TIA.
