164 thermostat screws should be replaced as well

[KARL C CHEN <karlcchen@domain.elided>]

I just found that my 92 164S on top of thermostat there
is an air letout screw. It is leaking from inside of screw.
Tighten it will only make it worse.  Maybe I over tighten 
the ( brass ? ) screw ?  But I should replace them every
time I replace a thermostat anyway.  I am ordering them
Monday...

It is been my experience that when replacing thermostat,
also replace all the screws.  which also include three 
screws that tighten the thermostat.  There are of inferior 
quality and should be replaced everytime.  

It is easier just throw them away than waste a lot of time 
trying to find how long they will last. 

They don't last, and they all do that.  

Just replace them will save me money and time in a long run.
