Installation Notes

  1. Ensure the engine is cool and disconnect the battery terminals.
  2. Drain the coolant from the system to a level below the thermostat housing.
  3. Carefully remove the bolts securing the thermostat housing and lift the housing away.
  4. Remove the old thermostat gasket. Thoroughly clean both the engine and housing mating surfaces to remove any old debris or sealant.
  5. Position the new gasket correctly onto the engine block or thermostat housing recess.
  6. Reinstall the thermostat housing and tighten the bolts in a cross pattern to the manufacturer-specified torque.
  7. Refill the cooling system with the appropriate coolant.
  8. Reconnect the battery, start the engine, and carefully inspect for any leaks around the housing as it comes up to temperature.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I confirm this gasket fits my Yanmar 6LY3 engine?

Please check the "Engine & Model Compatibility" table on this page. It lists all confirmed models like the 6LY3-ETP, 6LY3-STC, and 6LY3-UTC. We also recommend visually comparing the gasket shape in our photos with your old part before ordering to ensure a perfect match.

What are the signs of a failing thermostat gasket?

Telltale signs include visible coolant leaks or weeping around the thermostat housing, engine overheating issues caused by coolant loss, or discovering that the old gasket is cracked, brittle, or compressed during inspection.

Should I use sealant or adhesive with this gasket?

This gasket is designed to create a reliable seal on its own. In general, no additional sealant is needed. The key is to ensure both mounting surfaces are perfectly clean and free of any old gasket material or corrosion before installation.

When should I replace my thermostat gasket?

It is best practice to replace the thermostat gasket every time the thermostat itself is serviced or replaced. This ensures a fresh, dependable seal and prevents the risk of leaks developing from reusing an old, compressed gasket.
