Why RTV on the Therm housing? There is a seal on the Thermostat, I changed mine and did not used RTV, no leaks. Also wondering if you let the engine get up to operating temp when you had the rad flush in the system? If you didn't, all you have done is clean the heater core.

Just checking, I am a Heavy Equipment Technician by trade up here in Canada. I don't want anyone to do any wasted effort.
