Leaking Y pipe
tHi all,
The plastic Y pipe that connects the reservoir, heater core, and the engine cracked (plastic part)
part in question
so I bought the dorman part which is metal. Pulled out the old part and it had RTV and teflon tape. I'm guessing it was removed before. So I installed the part clean and guess what. BIG *** LEAK. UGH. Is there a trick to get this working right or do I need to go back to RTV and teflon tape?
Any advice is GREATLY appreciated.

Yup. the Y-Pipe had a section of o-ring cut out, even though I lubed it with coolant. I got another o-ring, lubed it with grease and a chuck pop out. 3rd one was slightly smaller but it looks like it went in. Need to fill and pressurize. I'll keep you up to date.

Ant,
I don't know if you took my post the wrong way, but I was praising your contributions to the forum members with your advice/help.
Certainly didn't mean to say anything negative about your input. Sorry you took it that way.

Me: Your clear thought and execution is learning/. ( Your procedures and troubleshooting advice is spot on).
Me: Keep doing what you're doing (forum) you've probably stopped more domestic abuse casis, than any single entity. LOL / (You help guys/gals get the job done so they can get back to work or family saving relationships and money)
