    If you used a gasket and it's still leaking that usually is either a cracked t stat housing (which I haven't ever seen) or a need to clean the gasket surfaces better.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    Ok that's my plan for tonight. I will look it over good but don't how I could have cracked the housing. You never know though for sure.
    Thanks much guys!

    I'd say it's more likely a dirty gasket surface. That's my typical experience when someone says it's leakin

    I'll go get a new gaket today and clean the surfaces good then put some grey rtv on it. Maybe that will do the trick. Never though a T stat replacement would take me 3 tries. argggg
