hi there,,i am going to fit a new thermostat housing kit on a KA 53 plate with the duratec engine

is it wise to use any gasket seal blue gasket for example when mating the two surfaces together

there is a new rubber gasket that came with the housing

i have removed the old housing and gasket because it was seeping abit and was thinking to use blue gasket to help seal it up ???

many thanks,,,
