DeTomaso Mailing List: July 2001, Message #222

I did this many years ago, what I remember is that it was tough to get the
water neck, which is part of the tube leading to the header tank, to seal
against the block.  Had to sand the flange part flat, and use RTV, as I
recall.

Using only two screws to hold the water neck on, a real sore point on US
engines.  Even my MGB has three spaced 120 apart.  Damn those bean-counters!

thermostat.   This weekend I must face the music and deal with it.  Any tips
from the experts or recently traumatized?  Approach from the top outside or
via the inside engine hatch?  Any tricks to pull out the old one and pop in
a Pantera Perf Ctr replacement??
