Stant 27001 thermostat gasket

Don's own Stant 27001, still on its BU 1 card. Click the photo for a closer look.

Jeep is a working name. People buy a Jeep to go where the road runs out, and they keep them running for decades. On the Jeep side, the parts-catalog data lists the Stant 27001 for 7 models from 1975 to 1990.

This page is for one model only: the Jeep CJ5. It isn't a wall of every car ever made, just yours.

Help choosing the right gasket

The 27001 is a pre-cut, multi-fit Stant thermostat gasket on a BU 1 card: a wide oval with an oval center opening, two "REMOVE" tabs for enlarging the opening, and a field of embossed knockout circles for the different bolt patterns. It carries more than one bolt-hole pattern. Stant's own card says to rotate the gasket about the opening until the thermostat and mounting bolt holes line up with the matching holes in your engine or outlet housing, then trim the excess gasket material. It's a different series from the Stant 27101 (a "BB" card) and is listed for completely different vehicles, so don't treat the two numbers as interchangeable.

The vehicle list on this page comes from parts-catalog compatibility data for the Stant 27001. Stant's own printed catalogs don't list the 27001, so treat the list as a strong lead, not a guarantee. Before you order, match three things: your year, your model, and your engine. Then check the bolt pattern: set your thermostat housing (or your old gasket) on the photo and make sure the opening and bolt holes line up. If you're not sure, just ask Don and Kathy. They'll help you sort it out.

Real people behind the parts

Back in 1997, when almost nobody had a website, Don and Kathy were already selling car parts online. They were the very first web customer of Daniel Comp's Intelligent Network. They've since sold through eBay, Bonanza, and their own site, and kept the sales coming no matter how often the internet changed its rules.

These gaskets come from Don's own shelves, in original Stant packaging.

Price is $9.95 plus $3.00 for shipping.

Don and Kathy offer a fair deal for this. Buying for a club, a shop, or a whole fleet of project cars? Even better.

At present we have 2 of these Stant thermostat gaskets number 27001 if you want more even some with different numbers let's talk.
