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.Dan WeberMiss Blue - '87 GL Weekender.
