Before I go taking off my themostat housing... are there preformed gaskets that can be purchased or do I just use a high temp gasket goop from a tube?

There is a small rubber o-ring that normally comes with the theromstat if you bought one.

I may have not been specific enough. Sorry. The gasket (if any) I am wondering about is the one that is sandwiched between the themostat housing and the engine block, not around the thermostat itself? Is there one or is it not necessary?

Hope this makes sense.
