Can anyone tell me how to stop my chrome coolant pipe, that is connected to the block right behind the headers,to stop leaking? I replaced the o-rings on both sides once already. They come out and go back together very hard. Is it possiable the o-ring got damaged when I put it back together? I was unsure if I could use grease or maybe ever never seize to help slide the pipes into place. The tabs dont pull the pipe in they just bend. Any Ideas? Thank agine Ernest.

 

Soap or hand sanitizer not grease, you may have torn the oring by the
sounds of it.......gentle rocking action putting it in .....not straight push
so it don't bite into it.....plenty of lube and warm the orings up good and
warm and soft as you can get them Put them in some boiling water don't
worry they'll get used to the idea

 

Yup- Sprockie got it in 1 !
That's of course if it's not the 3 way plastic leaking.......it's unusual for the chrome pipes to leak...

 

Its coming from right around the pipe itself. Thanks for the advise guys.Ernest
