Thermostat housing
00 Jeep 6cly.,4L When replacing the thermostat gasket is sealant used?
The service manual does not mention it however it looks like the earlier repair that was done (dealer under warranty) used it. |
Re: Thermostat housing
If there are smooth sufaces, no sealant is needed, however, most people use
a small amont of silicone. I prefer to use Gaska-cinch, as it is like rubber cement and peels off easily next time. -- Paul Calman, Hathaway Pines, California "DANFXR" <danfxr@aol.com> wrote in message news:20040414131840.08142.00000341@mb-m11.aol.com... > 00 Jeep 6cly.,4L When replacing the thermostat gasket is sealant used? > The service manual does not mention it however it looks like the earlier > repair that was done (dealer under warranty) used it. |

My experience has been use gasket sealer and get a leak. However a real thin skin of Permatex Hylomar HPF (and I mean thin as in wiped on with your finger thin) could be used. Suggest you try it dry first then go back and use a sealer if it has any leaks. -- DougW |

Re: Thermostat housing
Depends on how clean/pitted the surfaces are. I replaced mine in my Waggy a
month ago where the surfaces were a bit pitted and it leaked big time - blue hermatite sealant (non hardening) fixed it.

Re: Thermostat housing
"Pitted" would be a kind description of the one on my '88 when I
changed the thermostat last summer. That sucker took several minutes on the belt sander just to have a prayer of being useful. Personally, I use a thin paper gasket with a thin coat of RTV on each side to keep it from sticking the next time I have it off. In fact, the thermostat I put in actually came with a usable gasket.
