Stant 27269 Thermostat Seal for Porsche 944 (1983–1991)
Porsche built its front-engine cars, the 924, 928, 944 and 968, alongside the 911 from the late 1970s into the 1990s, and they have a strong following of their own. On the Porsche side, Stant's catalog lists the 27269 for 3 models from 1977 to 1994.
This page is for one model only: the Porsche 944. It isn't a wall of every car ever made, just yours.

Help choosing the right seal
The 27269 is a Stant thermostat seal, a molded rubber ring that seals the thermostat or the water outlet (thermostat housing) instead of a flat paper gasket. Its Gates equivalent, Gates 33607, is described as a O-ring seal, about 1.93 in. inside diameter × 2.25 in. outside diameter × 0.158 in. thick. Stant's own description of these seals: no sealer or RTV is needed for a leak-proof seal, and each one is shaped for its application. Stant made a different seal for each housing design, and Don stocks several of them, 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 seal is still in hand, compare its size and shape, or just ask Don and Kathy. They'll help you sort it out.
