I recently took my thermostat housing to a machine shop to have some
sheared bolts extracted.  I also took the thermostat out prior to this to
prevent damage to the thermostat.  There is no gasket or sealer around the
piece that you remove to get to the thermostat.  The machinist told me I
should put a gasket or sealant around this.  It doesn't appear to have
ever had any kind of gasket.  Should I leave it as is, which I'm leaning
towards, or should I use gasket sealer?  Thanks for any advice.
