Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the cooling system is fully drained before removing the old thermostat. Verify the sealing flange outside diameter and bypass dimensions match the original part to guarantee proper fitment. Since this thermostat does not include a gasket or seal, use the appropriate OEM gasket or sealant during installation. The jiggle pin weep hole should be oriented correctly to allow air to escape during the initial engine warm-up.
