I received a new thermo and gasket from TRF today to just replace the thing. I
do not recall putting anything like Holimer (sp?) dressing on the gasket. Am I
correct that it just goes on as is?
Thanks,

Craig, another way to test if a 'stat is working or not is to remove it
completely. Put it in a saucepan or lab jar of warm water with a 212F
thermomenter. Bring the water up to boiling point and watch the temp on the
thermometer. At around 180deg, the stat should start to open quite fast. If it
doesn't, it's toast and needs replacing. Maybe you don't want to try this, so
just fit a new stat anyway. It's not as though they're costly and its always
useful to have a spare.

Don't know, I could replace it. Any way to test that? I did replace it
4/1/2006, that could be it.
Thanks,

Yes, but it's not likely to be the plugs. Is your thermostat stuck open?
