Hi all,
Can someone tell me if using a marine grade silicone for gasketing my thermostat cap is ok. The old gasket is paper and nearly two millimeters thick (estimate) i think this is for a reason by looking at assembly. Can i achieve this gap by letting the silicone bead go off before joining or can i just tighten down until the gap is similar then let it go off??
any help gladly appreciated,
ben
