Thinking of replacing the t-stat on my truck soon. I replaced it once a few years back and used a gasket sealant on the cut paper gasket. It didn't do any harm, but I am wondering if it's really necessary or if I would be doing just as well/better by not using it. I think I used Permatex High Tack last time.
I don't need anything to hold the gasket in place. It's a very straightforward t-stat...aluminum neck bolts to aluminum intake manifold and is mounted horizontally. The only reason I would be using it would be to help the gasket seal better, if that's even necessary. I'm not sure if it is.
