T-stat neck

Fix one thing break another go figure. Anyone use a t-neck form autozone or O'riellys when I was putting on my HPOP today I must have pushed on it are something it's seeping at the seam where the mounting flange and pipe meet. I would like to order one from clay but it's gotta be fixed tomorrow

When i replaced my water pump purchase a new neck from O'riellys and it leaked really bad in that area. Welds were just terrible so I ended up cleaning my old one up and using it.

JB is awesome when used correctly. Your situation was one of the bad ones. I still have it on a fuel tank. But it was cleaned up really well and sanded.

I don't know if the SD billet housings will work for the OBS or not, but I know that these are supposed to help keep the stock neck tight and dry.
