Thank you i appreciate the pictures i had a feeling that was it but i wasnt really sure. And i wasn't sure if you meant kerosene or something else, does it talk about flushing the coolant system in that manual

Thermostats seldom rust up, the Wax Bulb eventually fails internally as the operating media or seals fail and they coolant short cycles cold, seldom to the value of overheat. Choked internally and externally are the brutal events on HE.
Net result of a small oil seep and pusher style fan operation.

As noted peel the gasket, has to be replaced anyway. Thermostats are usually fairly well age stuck in the bores but a little coaxing tapping around the edge with a small screwdriver and hammer and they will likely come out.

The key takeaway of the Stump Powder is Old School blast them out ribbing.
I just wanted to take them out and make sure they worked properly or should i even mess with that?

You've got this far, you might as well take them out. If they work OK it will only cost you a new gasket because there is no way you will get the old one off without breaking it.

The brass is the actual body where the stainless is the valve of the thermostat
Just work around them until move and pry out, buy two replacements if kink or bend them.
