[QUOTE="DILLARD000, post: 1038332, member: 74901"] To All, Perhaps foolish\unproductive to comment further in a devolving septic thread, but... Todd, Please carefully\objectively read my full write up with pics: [URL]http://2001fordexplorersporttrac.fandom.com/Coolant_ThermoStat_Housing[/URL] Yes I take blame\credit for: ~ Coat of RTV (I'll be damned it was UltraCopper), thicker on BodySeam & EngineFlange, lighter on SensorORings. ~ Top Inverted+Longer50mm Bolts with JamNuts between BoltHeads & BodyFlange, LockTite on FlangeThreads ~ Top Inverted Bolts+Nuts Put Flanges+Threads In "Compression", Not Weaker "Tension", Mechanical Design 101 ~ Top FlatWashers+LockWashers+LockNuts, easy Removal\Install for valve change as Bolts have JamNuts+LockTite "Forgive me father, for I have sinned": I shamefully used my own judgement to repair my own property. Sometimes I get lucky & things work. PS To All, When surfing web forums such as this one, FaceBook, Twitter, YouTube, & many others, please consider basic merit & potential "less than honorable" motivations (profit, power, or just plain crazy) of any post.
