• Temperature fluctuation in the cooling system
• Thermostat replacement during cooling system service
• Restoring proper operating temperature on Ford Courier and Toyota Celica applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Install the thermostat in the correct orientation for the housing and coolant flow path. Inspect the thermostat housing, sealing surfaces, and coolant condition before reassembly. Because a gasket or seal is not included, use the proper separate seal or gasket specified for the application. Bleed air from the cooling system after installation to help prevent hot spots and inaccurate temperature control.
