Also, when replacing the waterpump.....Do you use both paper gaskets that come with the waterpump AND gasket seal?

Follow your upper rad hose to the engine intake. Inside that housing is your thermostat.

Yes, use both gaskets (1 each side) and you can use a little rtv to hold them in place while you mount the pump.
