Dan , dont worry.. the check ball on factory T stat is to pass air that may be trapped, I just drilled a 1/8" small hole in approx area on new T stat. Doing this will ensure no trapped air.

or....
don't drill any holes, STILL works just fine.
If it's going in a 4.7, I'd notch out the area that the re-usable gasket seats into, look at the old t-stat, you'll see the dimple.

Thanks! yea, i ended up notching the thermostat with the dremmel. i was suprised, the thermostat from chrysler that i removed looked far higher in quality than any other thermostats i've ever seen.

I wouln't be suprised.
OEM is often the best stuff you can buy. That's why I went with the factory HO cams, not too radical, but a definite difference.
