Also check that yoir t-stst housing $$$ is an original neck as the aftermarket ones will leak. Best gasket are the blue fel pro and with the small hose off you will have success lining it all up. I keep spares of those gaskets on hand. Good idea to lightly rtv the t-stat side that sits in the housing groove first wait 10-15 minutes then you can tack on the rtv wiped gasket. Then  if you  find the intake is leaking afterwards the housing can remain attached to the intake at that point. Only need to drain the rad a bit as well for job 1. Also remember older green antifreeze. Danny</p></blockquote><p></p>
