one side or the other has to have one otherwise it just leaks and will crack the housing if it didn't when you tighten it. Clean the gasket out of the recess cavity in the lower section of the horizontal area where the t-stat rest. The vertical section of the goose neck that attaches to the intake isn't were you find the t-stat. notice the recess in the housing? |
