107537, Thermostat Installation Gasket/Seal Posted by zwickyj, Jan-31-08 01:50 PM I am trying to replace the thermostat and at first I baught the thermostat seal and it didn't seem like it fit and it didn't leaked everywhere, now I purchased a 180 from AutoZone and it came with a preinstall seal, LINK, And I have a gasket which clearly with the seal on there the gasket means nothing, What do I need to do this, I know it's common maitanance. | |

107539, RE: Thermostat Installation Gasket/Seal Posted by zwickyj, Jan-31-08 02:24 PM The new thermostat I got has a big seal on it and when I place the thermostat in the housing it does seal tight all the way, I also purchased a thin gasket, I don't know what to use, This is what it looks like | |
