water neck seal??

Post by daveskatesallday »

is there an o-ring or some type of sealant that goes here??

it's leaking when i started to put coolant in it when i put it all together i didn't notice like there should have been something there but maybe i over looked something @_@

O-rings top and bottom. It's easy to check, just unbolt the upper waterneck and you can slide the pipe out. If the o-rings are old replace them.

Do NOT use sealant.

Another thing to check would be the condition of the bypass pipe. Check both ends for excessive corrosion. Too much and even with new o-rings you won't get proper seal. Echoing one someone else advised: Don't use sealant as a replacement for the o-rings.
