Thermostat gasket leaking AGAIN!!!!

Professor Fate said
Are you SURE it's leaking at the gasket, and not weeping up through the bolt threads?
Many times the bolt holes are open to the coolant passage and will leak if the threads are not properly sealed. Other possibility is that the bolts are too long for the gasket being used and are bottoming out before they properly torque down the housing.

well like i said, the first time i took it off the gasket and sticker part was separated so i assumed the gasket failed, but when i got the new gasket from another store it had the same sticker side to it. so when i installed i didn't use sealer on then sticker ( thought that was the issue) now have the leak again. I will remove again this weekend and try to get some pictures of the gasket and see what we all think.

use the aviation sealer on threads as well? what is the proper length for the bolts so i can make sure they aren't to long.

So I saw this on a small block page on FB. Has anyone else tried this thermostat? I ordered and planning to try it in the next week. View attachment 1716278119
