I did a good and thorough job on the heater pipe seals at the water pump and thermostat about 6 months ago. Well they are both leaking again, small drop now and then. Crappy little o-rings, what do you expect. So besides stuffing it full of sealant and hoping for the best, is there any good long term fix for the problem? I think I read somewhere that you can get some sort of adapter from Ford, is that right?

Were the O-rings you changed black or green?
There is a modified type which is green and is better at sealing. Part number is AU 8K540 A $2.75 each from a Ford dealer, you may want to put some rubber grease on the seals before you put them in, might also pay to look for pin holes in the pipe. |
