Sorry about this stupid question, but I couldn't find an answer to it in any of the threads.
I'm installing a new Mr. Gasket thermostat. The Mr. Gasket instructions AND the Hayne's book instrustions say that the thermostat goes into the block first, then the gasket goes on, then the housing. This effectively "pinches" the gasket between the flange on the thermostat and the housing.
Looking at the gasket that I removed, it appears that the stock gasket went on first, then the thermostat, then the housing. How did you install yours? Thanks!!
