![]() ![]() The latter working better but still not perfect. I've tried torquing to 40-ft/lb right away per the FSM. I've tried letting it sit an hour just finger tight before torquing per the Permatex instructions. Results have slowly improved from a steady stream of water with the Vincos full gasket setup to just a drip every few seconds with the Felpro 3 O-Rings and RTV, but alas there is still a leak once I add pressure (which obviously doesn't hold) to the system.įrom what I can tell the 2 round O-rings are sealing fine and the issue is the funny-sorta-triangular-shaped gasket on the upper channel (the water falling straight down on to the crankshaft) I've tried "new style" (Just the 3 O Rings) w/ FelPro's Black RTV, no luck. I've tried "new style" (just the 3 O rings) w/ Permatex UltraBlack RTV, no luck. I've tried the old style full gasket + O rings from Vincos w/ Permatex UltraBlack RTV, No luck. I've tried the old style full gasket + O rings from Vincos dry, no luck. I'm not sure if I'm missing something or what. I'm up to 6 or 7 times now where I get everything together and wait the 24 hours only to pour a gallon of distilled water into the reservoir and find it leaks behind the timing cover. I'm having a hell of a time getting the coolant channels between the timing cover and the block to seal up water tight on my 2003 KJ 4x4 3.7l Vin K. I've tried searching here and elsewhere for a solution but haven't had any luck. ![]()
