I inadvertently dismantled the thermostat, thinking that I would have to remove it to get the intake manifold out. I went to a local supplier and was advised I would have to replace the entire unit, which comprises a thermostat, a gasket, an electrical connector, and the two housing shells, at a cost of $381.40CAN.

The gasket is made of metal and has to deal with the heat of the engine and the pressure of the coolant.

It is not the gasket that lives between the thermostat and the engine head. I have one of those in the head gasket kit.

This gasket lives between the two sides of the housing.

I will try to supply a picture.

Could I make do with gasket goo or a paper gasket or is there a supplier who would sell the gasket on its own.

Has anybody else ran into this situation and if so what did they do?
