Default Thermostat housing 4.7

Has anyone had trouble with getting the thermostat housing on the 4.7 to seal? Took mine to Dodge mechanic and he said get a lot of these that will not seal.

Default I think this is it

Most people tend to crank down on these the bolts but that warps them and this is where the problem comes from.

You should snug them up and use a gasket sealer + the gasket.

All of these will warp if put on wrong.
