No it should fit into the housing along with the thermostat. Try putting the rubber in first, then the thermostat. remember the rubber is malliable so it will conform to the opening, then insert the thermostat

How do you replace the thermostat located on a 1990 Chevy Lumina?
The thermostat in most vehicles is on the engine block. Follow the top radiator hose back to the engine and there will be a metal housing where the hose connects. The thermostat is UNDER that housing. Remove the hose, remove the housing and the thermostat is either UNDER the housing or a part of the housing. If the housing uses a gasket, make sure that both surfaces are clean before replacing the housing. If the housing uses a rubber seal, wipe down both surfaces before reassembling. Remove the 2 bolts on the housing. CAn leave the hose attached. Pull the housing up and away and you'll see the thermstat. Use pliers to grap the thermostat and pull up. Notice there's a rubber ring around the lip of the thermostat. This is instead of a gasket. Make sure you reuse that ring if the new thermostat doesn't come with one.
What is the order of parts assembly for the thermostat on a Chevy 454. Thermostat first into the hole with spring up and the round rubber gasket on top of that with the neck on next?
The spring end of the thermostat goes into the engine. If you have the rubber ring gasket, the rubber ring has a slice on the inside of the gasket. Fit the rubber gasket around the outside of the thermostat before you set the thermostat in place. Be sure the thermostat and gasket are in place with the spring end facing the engine and install the thermostat housing, done.

== == It's located within the thermostat housing, to the right side of the engine... follow the large rubber tube coming from the radiator and it shall lead you to the housing, which is held in place by two bolts.

The thermostat housing leaks on my 1985 silverado after I replaced the thermostat?
Most older Chevy silverados use a rubber gasket around the thermostat itself... the upper housing also has a rubber gasket built into it. Did you move the gasket from the old one & put it on the new one? There is also a paper gasket you can use, but you need a lot of permaseal & it isn't as good. Most parts store will have the rubber gasket & it's about $1.00
