Did I really just spend $50 for a thermostat??. But I know me, and if it’s one iota better for my baby, it’s worth it to me !also spent a tedious (but very satisfying) 45- hr scraping, cleaning, rinsing the surfaces and water neck itself! When I go to reattach all the hoses, do I just shove them back together and clamp the down? Or is there an adhesive to help ensure no leaks? I know RTV as a gasket on the water neck and a bit in the bolt holes, but what about connecting the hoses back together??[ATTACH=full]4092[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]4093[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
