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.
