I'm pretty sure it just uses silicone sealant. I know the T-stat cap (where the lower rad hose connects) takes a bead of silicone and no gasket. I don't remember using a gasket on the T-stat housing and head when building my engine, just RTV Black.

2g's use a bead of rtv, 1g's use a gasket. It is called a thermostat housing gasket. I have yet to actually find the gasket at parts stores. You will have to order it online from a vendor that sells oem parts or get it from the dealership. The part number is, MD145038.

Anyone feel free to chime in (good or bad) but I make my own gaskets for things like that. Just buy a pack of various thicknesses from the autostore and bam! No more crap thin gaskets.

That works just as well as buying a gasket. I have been making my own throttle body gaskets for quite a while now.

Oh, and the one downside is it sometimes takes a bit of time to make one correctly.
Bryan what do you use for cutting the bolt holes? I tried the socket trick but didn't turn out so good.

I've got multiple sizes of paper hole punches. It works very well. For holes that are bigger than my biggest one i just take the smaller one and make a bunch of small holes around the perimeter of the hole.

That's awesome, like in grade school hole punches?
Funny some of the simple things around the house can make a job go much smoother...

Yep, just a simple hole punch. I went to hobby lobby and bought an assortment of different sizes.
