1. Anyone give me a quick heads up as to where the thermostat is located, what it's next to, etc.

2. When ordering a replacement, is it necessary to get additional gaskets? There are two offered,
Thermostat Gasket/Seal; Seal Ring with Side Hole

and

Thermostat Gasket/Seal; Thermostat Housing to Cylinder Head


Is the idea to just get both gaskets and replace, better to be safe than sorry, or are they not necessary?

Thanks a lot.
