Description of Stant 27173 Thermostat Gasket

Stant's STAT LOK adhesive-backed thermostat gaskets cut installation time by as much as 50%. The adhesive backing holds the thermostat securely centered in the counter bore, leaving both hands free to align and bolt down the outlet casting. No sticky, toxic gasket cement is required. With a knuckle-saving Stant Stat Lok gasket holding the thermostat in place, the thermostat won't drop out or become misaligned and cause the mounting flange of the outlet casting to crack. Gaskets are cut to specific application requirements.

Not suitable for engine cooling and air conditioning

Didn't fit my 1998 Altima. I had to stretch, and in the end it wrinkled. Luckily I also used a gasket maker. Should have gone into the car zone

Pros
  • Gaskets are cut according to application requirements.
Cons
  • Secret

Does not fit 1990 Nissan 240SX

The quality looks really good - the material, the embossing and the pre-applied adhesive backing are all great. Just disappointed that it doesn't fit.

Pros
  • Adhesive backing keeps the thermostat securely centered in the brace leaving both hands free to align and screw in the exhaust molding
Cons
  • Upgrades

Dirt - Thermostat Leaking

Garbage flows like a sieve. I didn't use an adhesive pad as it is a "premium pad", coolant leaks from the 78MGB thermos body. Making pods again out of an old cereal box, as my father told me, and that took years. Too bad I can't return it, how can I return a seal that rips when removed?

Pros
  • With a Stant Stat Lok gasket holding the thermostat in place, the thermostat will not fall out or move which could cause the exhaust molding mounting flange to crack.
Cons
  • Functionality
