Subject:85 Vanagon; water housing & Oring sealing
From:Lorraine Rios
Date:Thu, 13 Nov 2003 10:29:13 EST

Well, I have exhausted my local used parts people and decided just to use the
old upper cross over tube before purchasing it new. Previously I had stated
this upper aluminum water tube that pops into the water housing w/ only an
oring was pretty bent up. I've since cleaned, straightened it to where I believe
it has a chance...
I'm ready to install it, but decided to ask the list if anyone has used any
other sealant other than blue RTV for cooling on the Oring to confirm a proper
seal? Is there a better sealant to use for water outlets/heat?
Thanks,
LR
