I have a quick question. I am going to purchase a new thermostat today. what else do i need to buy? A gasket?Sealer?

Also, when putting this in the car, what is the order? Like silicone-gasket-thermo???

Apply just a thin film of silicone....otherwise it ends up in your
cooling system. Not a good thing.
