What do you lube the thermostat gasket with?
You do not "lube" the gasket with anything. If it is a flat paper gasket, you can use any shelac type sealer, but you don't have to as these will usually swell with contact with coolant and seal.

What are the differences between dry lube and wet lube, and which one is more suitable for my bike chain?
Dry lube and wet lube are two types of lubricants used for bike chains. Dry lube is a lighter lubricant that is best for dry conditions as it repels dirt and dust.

What are the differences between dry and wet bike chain lube, and which type is more suitable for optimal performance and longevity of a bike chain?
