i only have one more good oring i need to make sure its on right before i try again
I am completely at wits end with this stupid F**KING LEAK! 3rd O-ring and there are 2 slightly pinched spots and the second the coolant level gets to the thermostat housing it leaks as if there was a crack problem is there is no crack and I took the top of the housing off i see no sharp edges, i took the f**ckin tube off again and felt all around and felt NOTHING sharp and I have lubed the damn thing with white grease so its not a lubrication problem is there a special way this O-ring should be in the slotted area? i have tried it at the top one pinched EXACTLY where the leak is, the second one got cut in half RIGHT where it leaks... this one the 3rd one got 2 little pinch marks and leaked just like the other 2... im probably gonna forget about the truck and just let it sit for awhile til i can relax this is ridiculous to say the least.
The picture doesn't show it well but where the original O-ring goes there is a mark that shows that the original O-ring wasn't seated flush with the top but rather at a diagonal way.
Finesse it in slowely , dont force it . Had a issue with this myself . I got it on 2nd oring though .

Hahahahah , never thought about how that sounded . :rofl:
Its true though . You dont really notice that part of the oring is protruding . I had to get a small screw driver to help the last edge in before pushing down on the pipe .
Wish I lived closer . I would come by and help you .
Nick use some black rtv,also you sure its not leaking from the top o ring thats going to th egr and heater.
