I have the reservoir off and this is unlike any thermostat set up i have dealt with before as the thermostat will go in sideways and the recess is on the reservoir neck. I think I need to stick the thermo to the reservoir recess before I put it on and I will be using RTV as a gasket. I am going to try to put a thin coating of RTV on the reservoir recess and stick the thermo to it - Anybody have this problem and have any ideas?
Also, I noticed the 5/8" hose from the block to the water pump is badly worn and the space is only barely 2 1/2' from block to pump. I have tried pushing it on and am having some trouble and bought a plastic coupling to try to use in the middle. Anybody done this before without taking off the water pump?
Thanks.
