Remove it again , clean up both sides and then wipe both sides down with Actone, enough to to get into any corrosion pores in the manifold side or the T stat side.
It all must be 100 % free of antifreeze !
Next get some blue silicone gasket maker and apply a bead to the intake side and let it set up for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes bolt on the water outlet and let it cure over night.
You need to apply a big enough bead of sealer to have come out the sides a good amount , then the next day you can trim it back with a single edge blade and your golden!
