not sure what is the cause but when i put on my header i stripped the aftercat 02 sensor so i just put in a bolt and after a week my heat was dead, but i got a new 02 sensor on and its still dead, i think something is burnt out. anyone know whats wrong?

there's an o-ring gasket for the thermostat so you don't need to use gasket sealer when your putting the water neck back on. however it's recommended that you always use a new gasket ($2) everytime you replace the thermostat. i used a hotter thermostat from PartsSource my first time but it was defective so instead I went with an OEM one for the reliability and peace of mind and have had good results. with the extra vents of the gt4, no hood insulator and -30 weather we're having, i'm definitely gonna switch back to a hotter t-stat the next time because the car just won't warm up fast enough and is losing more heat than it is generating.
