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
