Have you tried filing the sealing surface flat again w/ a large mill bastard
file? (Honestly, its called a mill bastard, I'm not being crude)

Hi All,
Does anyone have a Coolant expansion tank (the one on the right side of the
engine compartment next to the battery) and cap for sale??  Mine has major
pitting in the filler neck and the cap is not able to make a sufficient seal

and I'm losing all my coolant as steam and getting my system full of air.
This part is proving very tough to find.  The tank has two 7/8" hose
connector nipples and no temperature sensor.  Any help that wont cost me a
fortune would be greatly appreciated.  The part # on the tank is KTO
