Detailed Product Description

The Gates 33913 engine coolant thermostat is designed with a reverse poppet mechanism that allows for efficient coolant flow and temperature regulation. Its stainless steel and copper construction offers resistance to corrosion and wear, extending the thermostat's service life. The thermostat starts to open at 170°F (71°C), ensuring the engine reaches optimal operating temperature before coolant circulation begins. The O-ring seal made of rubber provides a tight seal to prevent leaks, while the absence of jiggle pins and gaskets simplifies installation and maintenance. Dimensions such as a sealing flange outside diameter of 2.2 inches and flange thickness of 0.05 inches ensure proper fitment in compatible vehicles.

Common Applications and Issues Addressed

• Prevents engine overheating by regulating coolant flow
• Helps avoid poor engine performance due to incorrect operating temperature
