All, completed my explorer serpentine conversion, but I have a leak on my thermostat housing. Initially i just used a paper gasket, cuz the rubber gasket that fits the thermostat is too thick (or the BC Broncos thermostat housing isn't machined deep enough). Didn't leak until the system really warmed up and under pressure; then a steady dripping. Tried to put the rubber gasket back on but can't get the surface flat enough to seal around the coolant line.
Thinking now I should just use Waterpump RTV for both the thermostat and the housing itself. What have the rest of you done to seal the housing? Thoughts?
thx!
