Product Details

This Four Seasons Water Outlet 85000 is an engine coolant component used in thermostat and housing service on select Ford Mustang, Ford Thunderbird, and Mercury Cougar applications. The aluminum outlet is built as an OE-style replacement for the cooling system outlet connection, with the gasket or seal included to support a proper seal at installation. This part cross-references Motorad (e.g., 5000KT, CH5000) for the same application.

Common Issues This Part May Address

• Coolant leakage at the outlet housing
• Cracked or corroded original water outlet
• Improper sealing at the coolant outlet connection
• Service replacement for a worn thermostat housing outlet
• Cooling system maintenance on 1996-2000 Ford Mustang and 1996-1997 Ford Thunderbird or Mercury Cougar

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify inlet diameter, bolt-hole spacing, and mounting dimensions before installation. Clean the mating surfaces thoroughly and inspect the surrounding cooling system components for wear, corrosion, or residue before fitting the new outlet. Because this is an outlet without a thermostat, transfer or replace the thermostat separately only if your application requires one.

Quality Assurance

Four Seasons lists this part as meeting or exceeding OEM requirements for the specified applications, supporting direct replacement use in compatible cooling system service.
