Product Details

This engine coolant water inlet is built for cooling-system service where the original inlet has corroded, warped, or no longer seals correctly. The steel housing helps provide a stable mounting surface, while the included gasket or seal supports proper sealing at the coolant connection. With a 1.78 in inlet diameter, 2.665 in maximum height, and 3.21 in bolt hole center-to-center spacing, the part is shaped for the listed Ford applications and related interchange references. Four Seasons 86223 is a direct replacement choice for technicians and owners servicing Ford E-350 Super Duty, Ford Excursion, and Ford F-250 Super Duty cooling systems.

This part cross-references Motorad CH1108 for the same application.

Common Repair Uses

• Replacing a leaking or corroded coolant inlet
• Restoring a damaged sealing surface at the cooling connection
• Correcting coolant seepage around the thermostat housing area when the inlet is the failed component
• Addressing overheating concerns caused by coolant loss at the inlet
• Repairing a cracked or warped engine coolant component on Ford Super Duty and van applications

Installation Notes and Quality Assurance

Verify the inlet diameter, mounting hole spacing, and vehicle application before installation. Clean the mating surfaces thoroughly and inspect the cooling system for contamination, hose wear, or related leaks before reassembly. Because this part is supplied without a thermostat, reuse or replace the thermostat separately as needed for the repair.

Four Seasons 86223 is listed as meeting or exceeding OEM requirements for the specified fitments, supporting a service-level replacement for the original engine coolant water inlet.
