    Crooked Nose. Can I adjust?

    They were never straight and lined up when new. Some better/worse than others. You can loosen bolts and move things around at home and see what it will do for you.

    Gasket, thermostat, then the housing?

    Put the t stat in the water neck groove, then put on the gasket with sealer on it, then set it all on the intake. Use a wire to hold up the t stat so it doesn't fall out of the groove in the water neck where it should be when bolted down.
