The stock gasket works just fine with no leakage......you could notch the tstat if you like although someguys have skipped that step

When you get your new t-stat and compare it with the original there will be a very small notch in the outer round body of the original. Most people notch the new one to match the original. The rubber gasket on the 4.7 liter t-stat will will fit better with the notch. You can use the original rubber gasket and notch the t-stat with a dremmel type tool.
