Thermostat cleaning question

[ONECASTAWAY]

I am going to do this for the first time myself. Want to learn how to take care of this. My plan is to just put new Tstats in and then clean the originals (2009 Pro XS 1B750829).

I also have a set of new gaskets. A couple of questions:

1. Do I need to put loctite (Blue) on the Tstat cover bolts?
2. How do I know if an injector comes out too when sliding the fuel rail?

Anything else to check on or be careful of?

Thanks!

i do not add loctite and reuse the same gaskets. I have spare gaskets just in case the originals tear but they still look brand new.

it’ll be pretty obvious about the injector as well. It’ll be in the rail and not the head. I’ve never had one come out but always check and apply oil to orings before sliding rail back tight. You should only need to slide the rail back on one side. I forget which side though. Sorry.

1. One drop of blue liquid loctite near the end of the screw.

2. Visually look. They're big enough you can easily see them.
