Thermostat Gasket 36046
The Fel-Pro 36046 is a transparent thermostat gasket designed for automotive cooling-system repairs. It provides a reliable seal between the thermostat housing and the engine block or intake manifold. Professional technicians and DIY mechanics use it during thermostat replacement or housing service.
Replaces worn original seals
This gasket replaces a deteriorated factory seal that can allow coolant to leak and cause overheating. The upgrade is worth it whenever the thermostat is removed, the housing is disturbed, or the original gasket shows hardening, cracking, or compression set. A fresh seal restores the cooling system’s integrity.
Limited to specific housing designs
The gasket fits only the thermostat housing pattern it was cut for and cannot adapt to other bolt patterns or flange shapes. It does not compensate for warped or corroded mating surfaces that exceed normal tolerances. Correct torque sequence and surface preparation remain essential for a lasting seal.
