    Default Do aluminum housings fit differently?

    The bentley shows the o-ring fitted on the inside of the thermostat as seen on the left.

    I replaced my plastic housing with aluminum and the only way it seemed to seal was on the outside as seen to the right (this is in the water pump; housing has not yet been installed).

    Is the aluminum housing designed differently?
