I like to put most gaskets on dry. If you must seal them I use Permatex ultra black.

be careful that the thermostat is in the housing correctly, thats where most leaks come from.

a little trick, put a drop of superglue on the thermostat before you put it in the housing. This way nothing moves while you install it...

ohh I don't think I had a problem with that.. (as far as I know)

The problem was lining up the gasket with the screws then getting both of the screws lined up

I hope the t-stat didn't move...
