Not all thermostats are created equal. Most of the knock offfs fail to open rather than fail to close. I would rather drive a cold car than a car that overheats rapidly.

Clean the current gasket, put a thin layer of rtv on both sides and press it back together. That should buy you a lot of time. You have other things to worry about.
