Water pump gasket alone or with sealant?

I yanked my water pump and the gasket was glued on with some blue stuff. I scraped both the aluminum water pump and the block. Does it need something else besides just putting the gasket on alone or should I use something else? And... the previous owner told me there was no thermostat but a restrictor? Should I leave it if the coling has been fine or pull it out and put in a 160, or 180? TIA
