Hey no worries. Just be sure that you use the blue permatex.. it says thermostat housing and water pump on itSent from my LG-H830 using Tapatalk
I always put some red RTV on that O-ring. No gasket, as it will space the O-ring too far away for a good seal. Been working on vehicles since I was 8, so when you get to tightening that pan gasket (cork) watch the edge of the gasket as you are snugging the bolts down and when the gasket JUST starts to bulge out a Little, THAT'S TIGHT, go no further and you will have no leaks. You're on the right track with being detailed.
Here ya go.. this is a different product..Yup lots of kinds of permatex hahaSent from my LG-H830 using Tapatalk
I actually like the cork gasket on the older style 20R/22R pans. They are usually flat though unlike the later model 22RE ones. I used the cork with that spray on copper looking stuff and so far no leaks.On the later style with the dips in the flange I have used both grey and black permatex with success and the Toyota stuff a few times too.I have found that whatever I use, I have a better seal if I wipe the mating surfaces down with acetone before application.
But those aren't temp sensor pipes, i thought you were doing the heater core bypass pipe...
My Doug thorley Tri Y was only 300 and i think i only paid 100 for the header back including the flowmaster... hope you find a good dealSent from my LG-H830 using Tapatalk
I know you're on the tail end, but LCE is having a giveaway on their facebook and instagram account... a nice shiny header is one of the prizes! I'm not a big LCE fan for their header, but free is free!
Double check everything when reassembling. Just got mine fired up this week...and I have problems with the number 4 cylinder. I'd hate to see something like that happen to you Gnarly.
Look up lce vs doug thorley header. Lots of stuff out there...
I've ran both, honestly could not feel a seat of the pants difference.
Look up lce vs doug thorley header. Lots of stuff out there where people felt like they wasted their money on thorley, bought lce and were much happier.
Just make sure you use REMFLEX gaskets for the header and you'll be fine. Most all the problems were because they didn't get a good seal at the headSent from my LG-H830 using Tapatalk
