The Simmons is way overpriced IMO

And doesn’t seal properly...Simmons says don’t need any rtv just install as is. I did just that to the torque he suggested and it leaked like a sieve our the t-stat cover. I took it off dried off the paper gasket and used aircraft loctite gasket dressing and it held for a few weeks..now it’s weeping up one of the bolts and out. Looks like RTV will be my last resort. I wouldn’t mind the high price if it actually worked properly but it is kind of annoying paying that much and it doesn’t seal properly.
