    Did you remove any silicone from the old one?

    It should not need silicone that's the o-rings job, silicone only adds to the total repair time. The book says coat the o-ring with lubricant before installing.
    I am guilty of using silicone on my aluminum t-stat housing though. It wasn't the best quality machine work.

    Finally got it to stop leaking. After gallons and gallons of water, two water pumps, two radiators, 3 thermostats and gaskets, one reservoir adapter, 3 res tanks, new clutch fan and blade,1 belt, a UV light KiT, and a BARs leaks copper alumaseal. I DID IT. NO MORE LEAK!!!
