Also had to RTV the (what looked to be) aluminum washer for the bypass valve on the bottom. That, and cranking the snot out of it, was the only way I could get it to stop peeing. Hope that helps


That's what I'm really concerned about. There was no seal washer with the thermostatic valve and none is shown in the parts manual. The aluminum flat washer/seal that was with the original plug is much too large to seal the valve. I have a leak in that area and can't yet see if it's the valve or the adapter itself.... where it seals against the block - shouldn't be the adapter, since it has a gasket and I also smeared a little anerobic sealant on it when I installed it.
