I removed my vernatherm to check it and I think I garfed up the washer in the process. When I put it backe together and did a test run it was leaking pretty bad and I tightened it a bit and it was still leaking.
So, I have a new washer, I will check the seat to make sure I didn't put a nick on that. I also bought a combination wrench to use instead of the crescent wrench. (I think I garfed the washer with the slip joint pliers since that was all I had at the time of removal).
Now my questions, how tight? The washer looks like it is made of aluminum. Is it supposed to crush a bit during install? It the washer a one time use like the copper washer under the temp sender? Any sealant on this application? I would guess NO sealant here.
I am running a Mattituck O-360 with the 90 degree adapter.
Thanks,
Jim
