I recently did my intake manifold gaskets and while I was there, I replaced the stupid leaking upper thermostat housing. It had been leaking around the gasket for some time and with coolant at $20 per now, I figured it was a good $15 investment. All said and done, I buttoned it all up and...

Hi all, I recently noticed a slight leak in the lower thermostat housing of my 2002 ford explorer. Went to the dealer for all the parts, no problem. Disconnected all the hoses and sensors, removed the top housing without a problem. When it came to the lower t-stat housing, 2 of the 3 bolts came...
