ok so my thermostat housing unit was leaking.. so today i replaced it along with the housing to block gasket and thermostat gasket

great.. now i got antifreeze PUMPIN out of the water temp sensor

now is my problem using the old one? since there is a gasket on the temp sensor should i have replaced that as well? ..seems to be the only logical explanation

im assunign this since its the only old part in there and i was always taught to never reuse gaskets

 

You were taught well grasshopper.
Now use your knowledge.

 

lol thanks

hopefully tomorrow the auto place will be open lol so i can use my car for stuff like..work on monday ;p

too bad i gotta replace the whole temp sensor tho

 

that sucks

weird though, i have reused gaskets in some places and been ok.....

or use a lot of rtv high temp silicone with the old gasket...hehehe

 

maybe il put some of that on it as well ..lol

 

there might be torque specs for the bolts /nuts in question...i would try and find the specs....
