Is there a gasket that goes between the termostat housing and the head? I have 3 gasket kits and havn't found one that fits, should I just use some RTV?
 
^^^ not what he was looking for.


there is a gasket, but if you use a good sized bead of gray rtv you should be good! just give it time to set before you do anything else! (as in run the car):thumb:
 
Mine is metal to metal with just the rubber seal around the thermostat. No leaks;)
Please re-read the first post. He's not asking about the seal between the t-stat housing and the water neck.


syrushcw - No gasket required. Permatex will work just fine.
