t-stat gasket

alright, so this is the first gasket i have tried to seal, and its leaking.

Are you suposed to put the goop on both sides of the gasket or just one?

just put a small ammount on both side of the gasket, and tighten the bolts evenly.

RE: t-stat gasket

do you think it would be ok for me to take the housing back off and reuse the gasket i just bought? or should i just buy a new one and redo the whole thing?

RE: t-stat gasket

you might be able to reuse the gasket if it hasnt been on too long. if its been on a day or so get a new one.

you like that tim? im tryin to decide between orange and blue.

RE: t-stat gasket

i went through a couple of gaskets when i replaced my thermostat. you have to get that gasket seated just right. just goop it up and take your time puttin it on.
