Thermostat leak

You were on the right track, you just stopped a little bit short. When new, those surfaces will seal with just a gasket. At this age, the scotchbrite treatment is a good idea on both surfaces and a smear of RTV sealer on both sides of the gasket will ensure a good seal. Look very close at the engine gasket surface. It's really easy to "polish up" a piece of the old gasket and make it hard to see.

I would recommend against this. There is nothing you can eat there that is not high in saturated fat, except the ice, and that just melts away.

WTH? I built this most excellent body one calorie at a time. Trust me, KFC is healthy food for Southerners. Everybody knows that.

That's the information I was looking for, all joking aside about KFC. Do I need any special high temp RTV? If I'm going pull this apart again I want to get it right the next time. I have a talent for turning an hour's worth of work into a three day ordeal.

Sure you're not confusing that with Waffle House?;-)

When cooked properly its the finest fried chicken in the world.

You gotta problem with KFC.....?? Just any regular RTV sealant is fine.. I prefer the Black mid temp for general use such as cooling systems and most anything else. Blue or clear would be fine for your particular application, but of course, I prefer the black. Silver and Gold RTV are for very different and specific applications. They would work really well for your thermostat, but would be Waaaayy overkill for that application.

Make sure the sealing surfaces are clean, install the 'stat in the proper direction, shmear the gasket with clear, blue, or black RTV on both sides and bolt it together. That's it!!

Yea, but that's what makes it so darn Gooooddddd.......

Whoa Tim. KFC is for dinner, Waffle House is for any other time, especially Breakfast. Sonnys Barbeque is for special occasions, like sunrise, noon, sunset.... Get it right son! Pork fat = Meal, Greens= Appitizer, Fried anything=side dish. You're from the North, aintcha?

I know.

But, if you get a Boston Market 1/4 dark meat (thigh and leg) with corn, it is like 21 g fat vs. about 50 g fat for KFC.

You can get good food with less fat.

You can't beat a big bucket of KFC extra crispy with Boston Market's mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, and cornbread!! We have both in a strip mall near us. MMMMMMmmmmm!!!!

Wow, my arteries are closing up just thinking about it. ;)

Well, why shouldn't they? Are you planning on living forever?

At least I'm going out with a smile on my face and a full belly!

Assuming that you don't have a stroke and spend the last 15 years of your life in a nursing home making your doo-doo into diapers because you can't move.

Jeff

Hardly.

This reminds me of the guy who only exercise is going to the funerals of all his jogger friends. LOL

Jeff, promise me... If I ever hit the nursing home like that, shove a chicken grease IV in my arm and let me die happy.

Morgan Spurlock must be amazed. McDonald's and Wendy's are both coming out with bigger burgers. If I heard correctly, Wendy's new burger combo has 1600 calories. Most Americans will be dying of diabetes so fast they won't have time to call for a grease injection. It would be redundant anyway. ;) I thought maybe the movie Super Size Me would slow them down a bit. Heh, dreamer.
