My 07 shop manual shows a Thermostat Gasket as "Not Reusable"

When I look at the parts diagram for my engine I do NOT see that gasket.


Has anyone peeked in there? Is there indeed a gasket between 32 and 35 in this diagram?

Thanks!
 
It has been awhile but I think I recall the gasket being built in to the thermostat.
 
I will go along with @buckbuck. I have had the thermostat housing disconnected several times over the past months and I never noticed one. And it has never leaked after bolting it back in place and running on the hose.
 
Thanks! Much appreciated.
 
Thanks! Indeed it was as you indicated. The gasket is the rubber part attached to the thermostat, and it comes with it, not a separate piece.
