Water necks leak on all of them. Use some pipe dope and tighten it pretty good and problem solved.
Actually id call its CSR's fault, when I call and they have them on the shelf, Jegs calls while I wait on hold and they get told "sorry we dont have any motor on hand we are waiting on them ourselves". I was #18 in-line wiaitng on a clear replacement motor. They had been backordered sense april (this was mid june).
I dont think some pipe dope will fix the filler necks, they leak at the angle where the neck meets the base. bad epoxy was used on the insides, not my words CSR's words. There is no thread to put pipe dope on not sure if your fimilar with them or not ???
Typically filler necks dont leak, atleast not any I have purchased until this one. Not being a jerk but come on, how can I or anyone else support a company that tells customers they know they put bad epoxy in a filler neck and they wont hold up to heat and not even let ya pay them to fix it ?? Or want to get ya for 50 bucks more then jegs does for a replacement motor?
