RTV or Gaskets

I am so sick of cork or paper gaskets leaking even with a bit of RTV. I always wonder why I pay good money for a gasket only to have to put yet another sealer on it to make it work. I have moved on to The Right Stuff gasket maker. LOVE THE STUFF! It is in a can, easy to apply, little pricy ($14.95 per can at AZ) and you torque it down right away, no lag time. It really glues stuff on. That's what I use.

I bought the necks from Speedway (offenhauser) so I am assuming they are more correct. (the old ones are so degraded it is hard to tell what they are.) The neck has a diameter of 2-3/16" while the thermostat(duralast) is 2-1/2" in diameter. This is a thermostat that the local auto place swears is for this truck. I checked the old thermostat and it is 2-1/4" which is also too large. Where does one find a smaller thermostat. They don't list diameter when you buy one.
