kind of silly question
I have a small leak from the base of my water neck. I will be hopefully fixing over the holiday. Anyway I have one of those blue shop paper towels wrapped around the base of the water neck so it wont run all onto my intake.
It wont get hot enuf for that thing to catch fire will it? A freind of mine mentioned it but I dont think it gets nearly that hot there. Maybe if you wrapped it around a header or something. Anyway got me wondering.

Re: kind of silly question
air flow can move it easily to the exhaust header

Re: kind of silly question
Ok I ordered a new waterneck and thermo from summit. I got the cheap billit summit water neck that uses the o-ring. My question is should I use some rtv on the bolts do they pass into the water jacket? And with the o-ring one I use nothing else just the o-ring right?
thanks

Re: kind of silly question
One more question about how much coolant should I drain to make the thermostat swap? the coolant is only about 6 months old dont want to waste it but dont want to drain to little and make a mess also.

It's a catastrophic success.
