Re: Thermostat housing
If there are smooth sufaces, no sealant is needed, however, most people use
a small amont of silicone. I prefer to use Gaska-cinch, as it is like rubber
cement and peels off easily next time.

My experience has been use gasket sealer and get a leak. However a real
thin skin of Permatex Hylomar HPF (and I mean thin as in wiped on with your
finger thin) could be used. Suggest you try it dry first then go back and
use a sealer if it has any leaks.
