Do I need to replace the head gasket when I replace the thermostat. Look like only four bolts holding head on after removing the 14 bolts that hold the thermostat cover. <br /><br />Do I need to use a gasket cement.<br /><br />1987 50 hp Evinrude.<br /><br />Thanks for the advice in advance.

Wouldn't think the head gasket needs replacing unless you remove the head. Just a new head cover gasket with gasket sealing compound.
