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.
i just need to know what i have to do...scrape down surfaces and what not.
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.
