Just received the Mishimoto thermostat. It tested fine in the boiling water test. However, it comes with a built-in rubber gasket, which the one I’m replacing didn’t. It had the Permatex water neck and thermostat (blue) sealant.
So, since the Mishimoto has a gasket built-in do I still need the Permatex? Or just a thin layer on the diameter the gasket? Or just along the outside of the gaskets circumference?
I’m thinking a thin bead inside that top “channel” of the gasket would be good?
Thanks!
