Default Replacing Thermastat gasket

Hey Every one. The thermastat gasket went on my 91 blazer 4.3l
i need to replace it before a long trip this weekend and need a bit of help doing so.

That would be great thanks.

Yup, pretty much just clean up both surfaces real well, making sure that you do not gouge the surfaces. I usually check the flatness with a file to make sure that the new gasket has a flat surface to sit against and seal on, but it isn't always necessary.
