Default THERMOSTAT

are you supposed to use RTV gasket sealer for the thermostat housing? or do you just put the new one in and put it back together with the 2 screws?
I have a 96 vette. Please help..?

I just did mine & RTV is not required. The seal is made by the rubber ring on the thermostat. Be sure it is positioned properly & everything is clean.

Rubber gasket should come with the stat, don't have to use sealer, just watch when tightening the bolts so as not to crack the housing 89 lbs. in according to the GM manual.
