The thermostat is secured in the thermostat housing by an "O" ring which should have been included with the new thermostat. It does NOT go in the inlet manifold.

Please re-read the above. The thermostat housing is the cast iron bit that the hoses attach to and sits on top of the inlet manifold.

Item 3 is the "O" ring that holds the thermostat in place in the thermostat housing. (there is a clue in the word housing)
