I sanded and cleaned up my thermostat housing, installed a new thermostat and gaskets using part numbers as seen here.....

.......torqued to 30 ft lbs
started up and it's leaking from bottom front. So I torqued to 50 ft lbs, same thing.
Took it off, used Perfect Seal this time, torqued the hell out of it..... still leaking.
Can anyone with this housing shed some light on what's going on?
