Did you get the mating surfaces clean I put the gasket and thermostat in the wrong order It wouldn't seal that way If i recall, the thermostat goes in first, then the gasket on top, then the housing There is a shallow recess that the the thermostat fits into I have a 70 340 with the eldebrock performer rpm intake
I replaced a chrome thermostat housing that had a slow leak I replaced the gasket with a new one and switched it around from back to front So it leaked in the same spot I went out and bought a billet housing with the o ring Two major problems, the first being air in my coolant system i cannot purge (no heat!), but the one that is really pissing me off is my leaking thermostat housing I bought a behr thermostat + gasket because my thermostat came out in pieces when i took the housing off during my water pump.
Planning on replacing thermostat not just gasket Is it best to stick with stock thermostat I don't think i need a 180 I have intake, shorty headers, larger y pipe, magna flow exhaust As mentioned above, first determine the source of the leak If from the thermostat seal or the gasket between the housing and block, new seals may be needed
Or the sealing surfaces may be corroded and a new housing and cover may be necessary The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen. Bolted her back up and was good to go Noticed a drop of coolant on the driveway over the weekend and saw that its leaking again Appears to be coming from the rear, in particular around the bolt. Hello all, i am struggling fix a leak on a 2008 toyota corolla le 1.8l
The car was leaking from that area so i. The housing and intake had been powder coated previously, but i stripped both down to bare metal The underside of the housing has grooves that the thermostat seemingly sit in, but those grooves are obviously larger than the thermostat. I've tried everything that i can think of to stop the leak at the thermostat gasket It is leaking from what looks like a thermostat housing at the back/top of the motor The aluminum housing has two steel tubes coming from it
One is a radiator hose on the passenger side and the other is heater hose sized, going to the coolant overflow bottle near themaster cylinder Each of the tubes are held to the housing via a single bolt.
