[DML] Re: Thermostat Cover leak ... Thoughts please ...

[tobyp@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Nick - The basic recommendation would be to obtain a new seal ring  
that fits well and is fresh.  The seals that we have fit well in the 
housing, and we have never had one leak, to the best of my 
knowledge.  Perhaps the thermostat that you used had a defective or 
incorrect seal ring?  There should be good compression on the seal 
ring when the cover is tightened down.

gasket is installed first and then the thermostat in the correct 
orientation.  The thermostat and gasket/ring was replaced a couple 
years ago and the gasket appears OK. The gasket sits a little loose 
in the hole and has done so since day 1.
