92BlueByU Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 I've been through 2 tstat housings and gaskets now, I seen coolant coming from the lower nut and also a squirt from about midway down between the housing behind the hose. I think it might be the gasket that was used. Is the OEM and aftermarket gasket really that different? I haven't seen either one, I had a shop swap it out back when I had some other work done.

loco_ese Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 There could possibly be a slight difference between the OEM gasket and any aftermarket manufacturer of the tstat gasket. What the real problem could be is that the housing is not seating properly which could be due to improper tightening (ie-cross threading) of the thermostat housing. Have you personally checked it yourself for proper tightening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
