I hate teflon tape, cuz my t-stat housing leakin, I had to flush my coolant out cuz the tape got into it. Just use teflon tape on shower heads, you'll be safe there... ;)

on D16Y8, it has some goofy valve, we i had to replace my valve, and the new one (which I ordered from honda) leaked when i put it in, so I bought a new vlave after returning the old one, same thing, so I bought teflon tape and it stopped leaking for liek 3 months, then started again, adn the tape go into the coolant...so I took it into honda, and they fixed it for me, had to pay, but not a lot
