After spending several thousands dollars at the dealer mechanics and several independent repair shops I did my own repair by cannibalizing the thermostat. Since I did that repair the car never overheated again.This type of repair can cause hot and cold spots in the engine. We have put on ten thousand miles since my own repair.

The answer is...it depends. A majority of cars have the gasket going on top of the thermostat. You will have to look for things like a cutout for the thermostat to fit in and such to really know or you might even have to pull out the repair manual.
