If they are like gaskets used for surgical trays then endless just means you have to cut to size and ends must be joined or overlapped . The other type is made to the specific size and there are no ends, it is just a ring. There are other kinds of gaskets of course including ones that are semi liquid when applied and have to set .
I'm not sure what "screw" you are referring to,but any gasket joint can leak at the mating surfaces and/or past the fastener threads. If you are replacing the thermostat, you might want to use the OEM gasket. Probably a neoprene gasket. I have never had the OEM gasket to fail. You have to watch how much you tighten these fasteners. They don't require very much torque.
A gasket is a mechanical seal that fills the space between two objects, generally to prevent leakage between the two objects while under compression. Gaskets save money by allowing "less-than-perfect" mating surfaces on machine parts which can use a gasket to fill irregularities. Gaskets are commonly produced by cutting from sheet materials, such as gasket paper, rubber, silicone, metal, cork, felt, neoprene, nitrile rubber, fiberglass, or a plastic polymer (such as polychlorotrifluoroethylene). Gaskets for specific applications may contain asbestos. It is usually desirable that the gasket be made from a material that is to some degree yielding such that it is able to deform and tightly fills the space it is designed for, including any slight irregularities. Many gaskets require an application of sealant directly to the gasket surface to function properly.(taken from gasket article from wilipedia)

Flat washers. Spring washers. Rubber gasket. Felt washers. Asbestos gaskets.
A head gasket is only one of the many gaskets in the engine. Each has a separate function and failure by any one gasket will result in different type of leakage. A head gasket failure is perhaps the most disruptive.
There are several different ones. Low end is pan gasket for less than $100.00 High end is pump gasket for $500 to $1000.00
To make your own gaskets, you can use gasket material and a gasket punch kit. Trace the shape of the gasket onto the material, then use the punch kit to cut out the gasket. Be sure to use a sharp blade and follow the manufacturer's guidelines for cutting the gasket material.
no you cannot,once the gasket is torqued down it is crushed and has a certain shape to it. if you reuse the gasket the shape will be different and there will be leaks. even if you place it down in the exact same spot you will never get it like the first time.
no. gasket and thread are different.
Replacing a 1992 Acura Integra head gasket will cost approximately $500. The exact cost to replace the head gasket is dependent upon several different factors.
Since these represent 2 very distinctly different parts of the drive train of the vehicle, it is not likely for a head-gasket to affect the battery.
