The problem with them, is they mostly all use an o-ring to seal... However that seal is only from the neck, to the thermostat. They have no provisions for the thermostat to recess back into the houseing like the stock necks do.

What you end up with is a thermostat sitting on the water pump housing, and a seal between the thermostat and the neck via o-ring.

Mine is leaking again.

I used some RTV, but it still leaks.
