2.8 V6 Thermostat Gasket

[GRANDFURY]

I got a thermostat the other day and it looks like it already has a gasket attached to the stat. Do I need the gasket that I bought seperatly or is the gasket on the stat ok? 1989 GP LE. Thanx

Use the new gasket, thats why they come with them.

depends there are two gaskets in some cases.

the Rubber O-ring seal on the therm and in some cases a Paper gasket for the housing.
gen2 engines use a paper gasket as well IIRC. but Gen3's only use the rubber oring on the therm.

2.8/3.1 dont use a paper gasket for the housing, just the rubber O-ring
