What is a gasket what are different types of gasket?
A gasket is a mechanical seal that fills the space between two objects, generally to prevent leakage between the two objects while under compression. Gaskets save money by allowing "less-than-perfect" mating surfaces on machine parts which can use a gasket to fill irregularities. Gaskets are commonly produced by cutting from sheet materials, such as gasket paper, rubber, silicone, metal, cork, felt, neoprene, nitrile rubber, fiberglass, or a plastic polymer (such as polychlorotrifluoroethylene). Gaskets for specific applications may contain asbestos. It is usually desirable that the gasket be made from a material that is to some degree yielding such that it is able to deform and tightly fills the space it is designed for, including any slight irregularities. Many gaskets require an application of sealant directly to the gasket surface to function properly.(taken from gasket article from wilipedia)

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
Do you use silicon when changing intake gaskets?
It depends really. You don't use it on the gaskets themselves. Not if you got a decent brand of gasket anyway. Some intake gasket sets are supplied with rubber gaskets for the ends. Most of the time I throw those away and use a bead of silicone instead. It stays more pliable and does a better job of sealing than those rubber ones. Even if you do use the rubber end gaskets, put a small dab of silicone in the corners where the rubber gasket and fiber gasket meet.

When baking in a pressure cooker should we put rubber gasket?
You should not use a pressure cooker to bake in . You could use the bottom if you had to, but it will not build pressure without the gasket and the gasket should not be put in the oven. The gauge will not survive in the oven either. The older lids also had a lead blow-out plug and the newer ones, a rubber plug. Both will melt out in the oven.

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.
Quick repair rear door gasket leak suburban?
First make sure the gasket is clean in front and behind it, removing dirt and debris. Dry everything completely and then use a hose in short bursts in specific spots, one area at a time until you find the leak. We found that stuffing thin polyethylene foam between the gasket and car-body bulked out the gasket at that spot enough to improve the seal to the door. Probably a length of thick foam weatherstripping added beneath he rubber gasket might work too, depending on where your leak is and how bad it is. If that does not work, you can order new gaskets for about $100.
