if you mean the gasket between the thermostat housing and the hose connection bell yes you do but you should use a thermostat to keep the engine at constant operating temperature for which it was designed it will run more efficiently and last longer
K-Seal is designed to seal leaks in various engine components, including gaskets, but its effectiveness on a thermostat gasket leak may vary. While it can help seal small leaks temporarily, it's not a permanent solution and may not work on larger or more severe leaks. It's generally recommended to address the underlying issue by replacing the faulty gasket for a reliable and long-term fix. Always consult your vehicle's manual or a professional mechanic for the best advice.

I set the thermostat for 70 degrees.
An underfloor heating thermostat enables one to reach the perfect temperature in the house. It is also perfect for enabling the heating to turn on when the room temperature reaches low numbers.
Tools required: screw drivers, insulation tape - switch off your geaser, and plug out the power cable from the socket/power supply. Please also close the inlet water entry into your geaser. - remove the outer side of the geyser where the electrical connections are wired. This will need screwdrivers for most of the commercial geysers - Now you will see a big knob with temperature markings (usually 0 - 80 degree celsius) coming out of your geaser tank. - slowly track the electrical connections that is going into the thermostat and disconnect them (usually 2 of them) - Now pull the thermostat out - you will see a long rod coming out from the geaser. Now you are successful in pulling your thermostat out. - Now you want me to reverse-repeat the setps for plugging in the new thermostat in ? :-) - BTW...please note to set the temperature mark in the thermostat appropriately. Usually use the same as it was there in your older thermostat. - after plugging in the new thermostat, and you connect the electrical wiring, close the geyser (with whatever you removed) and open the inlet water entry. You need to plugin the power cable and switch it on again. Hope you find this useful, the new thermostat makes the geyser happy ! cheers, Harish
It is under the housing where the lower hose attaches to the block. The new thermostat should have the seal with it, and that should be all you need.
removed thermostat on 98 Bonneville and also removed rubber seal -- cannot get the old seal back into the housing.... help
Failed seal. Replace it.
If water is coming out around the thermostat housing, the seal or gasket is bad.
Replace the thermostat housing seal or gasket.
Yes, a 1995 Mercury Mystique does have a thermostat gasket. This gasket is typically made of rubber or a similar material and is used to seal the thermostat housing to prevent coolant leaks. If you're replacing the thermostat, it's advisable to also replace the gasket to ensure a proper seal and prevent overheating issues.
find where the upper radiator hose goes to the engine block. The thermostat is located below the housing. You will need to drain part of the antifreeze then remove the housing the thermostat can be popped out with a screw driver. be sure to clean the old seal completely before reassembly
The thermostat on a 2001 Lexus IS300 is located in the engine bay, specifically at the engine's coolant outlet housing, which is connected to the upper radiator hose. To access it, you'll need to remove the upper radiator hose and the bolts securing the thermostat housing. Once removed, you can replace the thermostat, ensuring to use a new gasket for a proper seal upon reassembly.
thermostat first, then gasket then thermostat housing cover. I'm having trouble getting mine to seal properly. any help would be wonderful
The thermostat is located inside the radiator. Remove the radiator cap and pull the thermostat up. Remember to put the replacement thermostat in the same position push the new thermostat down in the radiator. The O-ring gasket will automatically seal.
Drain the radiator into a container. Follow the top radiator hose to the engine. Remove the clamp and the bolts holding the thermostat housing. Remove the thermostat and seal. Clean both surfaces and install the new thermostat and seal. Reinstall the housing and top radiator hose. Top off with antifreeze.jd
If not tight enough to seal it will leak.
