Stant 27140 Thermostat Gasket for Jeep (1965–1970): J-2500, J-2600, J-2700 and more

Jeep is a working name. People buy a Jeep to go where the road runs out, and they keep them running for decades. For the 27140, that's the 1960s J-series pickups and the original Wagoneer.

This page lists only the Jeep models the Stant 27140 is catalogued to fit. It isn't a wall of every car ever made, just yours.

Help choosing the right gasket

The 27140 is a Stant Stat Lok thermostat gasket, made in the USA. "Stat Lok" means it has an adhesive backing that holds the thermostat centered in its seat while you bolt the housing down, so there's no gasket cement, no thermostat falling out, and less risk of cracking the outlet flange. Its sister part, the 27167, fits a different set of mostly later, smaller engines, so check which number your car calls for.

Before you order, match three things: your year, your model, and your engine. Catalogs list fitment by vehicle, but some engines had more than one thermostat housing design over the years. If your old gasket is still in hand, compare its shape and bolt holes, or just ask Don and Kathy. They'll help you sort it out.
