Removed stat for winter ,
Installing new gasket ,
How tight for the 2 bolts in Ft/Lbs or N/M on the T stat housing ? I have a Torque wrench so I guess I should use it .
Secondly would a little copper neversieze on the inside of the rubber hoses hurt the rubber , just want to prevent hoses sticking . As this will be part of my winterizing each year .

2007 merc 4.3l , carb , 190hp.

Thanks Roadrage.
