How-To's / New Thermostat housing install on M42...O ring or gasket? Or both?

« on: March 21, 2017, 12:49:20 PM »

Hi everyone. Have some issue in regards to installing a new thermostat in my M42. Was wondering what the correct way is, in stalling the thermostat and the housing. Specifically, whether to use the Oring that came with the Stat and or the Reinz paper gasket. In addtion to, should i use Permatex as well? Was thinking just installing the Oring and using that Black rubber gasket sealer from Permatex to coat the complete housing. Thanks for the input..

Hi,
Am new to the forum and just picked up a 91 318is...My problem is that there seems to be a battery drain somewhere. Found out that the 'inspection' light, little green bars on the cluster, stay on even when the ignition is off. Any advice as to why this is happening? In addition to, my Tachometer is inoperable as well. Could that be realted to a faulty SI Battery. Greatly appreciate any help regarding this.
