V8 Thermostat housing gasket

I have a leaking thermostat housing and I am going to replace it, but I can't find a gasket for it. Anyone know the part number?

Oh crap, I musta read that wrong. I believe we used rtv/make-a-gasket for that.

Okay. That is what most have been telling me, but someone mentioned that they thought Toyota sold a gasket kit that had one for this in it.

Thanks!

The only gasket I used was the one that went around the Thermostat.

I cleaned up the housing mating surface with some wet sandpaper, did not need to use any sealant.

You didn't put any sealant on the housing?

Correct, no sealant was visible when I removed the housing cover, just a gasket around the Stat. No issues after 5k+ miles... BTW, I went with a Stant stat.
