Which order doea the thermostat go in? The book isnt mega helpful. Do i need a gasket between the head and the engine steady? Does the steady go on top of the thermostat cover?

If I go very quiet there's a very good chance I broke something.

Head, then thermostat, then gasket, then engine steady, then gasket then thermostat housing.

The head should have a groove around it where the thermostat sits into

Or to be more precise:

Head then thermostat, then gasket sealant, then gasket, then gasket sealant, then engine steady, then gasket sealant, then gasket, then gasket sealant then thermostat housing :lol:

Oh, don't forget the sealant on the thermostat stud threads!

Not necessary if you put enough on the gasket, esp when using Permatex black or grey (silicone based)
