Hi everyone. it's been a while since I have posted.

I need to replace my steering rack in my 87 Si (Hatch). It has too much play on the passenger side. I thought at first it was the inner tie rod, but after taking it off the outer tie rod, it was obvious it was the rack and not the inner tie rod.

Anyway, are all racks interchangeable? Can I take one off a CRX and put it on my Hatch? Does it need to be a Si specific one? Can I take one off of a different trim level? Aren't they all the same or am I going to run into a problem.

A P/S conversion would be nice, but is probably beyond my abilities. I just want the car to be safe and continue to be as reliable as a rock.

Does the upper radiator hose inlet have a gasket? I've looked through the service manual here and can't find any reference to it at all. (Not even an exploded diagram with it being taken off)

I took it off thinking the thermostat was under there. -I should have looked at the service manual on here first.

I used a little blue RTV to put it back together and now it leaks like crazy.

any help please.
