Motorad 230-167JV Engine Coolant Thermostat

Motorad 230-167JV Engine Coolant Thermostat

The Motorad 230-167JV is a 167-degree engine coolant thermostat built with OEM-quality materials and OE-supplier manufacturing standards. It uses a copper case and wax compound for quick reaction to coolant temperature changes, helping maintain stable engine operating temperature in demanding cooling systems.

Key Features

• 167 Deg. F opening temperature for temperature control in the cooling circuit
• Copper case and wax compound for responsive thermal operation
• Offset design with OEM-style seals where applicable
• Jiggle pin weep hole for air relief during coolant fill and service
• Sealing flange outside diameter: 2.12 in
• Bypass diameter: 0.99 in; bypass length: 0.96 in
• Flange thickness: 0.06 in
• Motorad Standard line thermostat, part number 230-167JV

Detailed Description

Motorad Standard focuses on OE-style cooling system service parts built to factory specifications and processes. The 230-167JV thermostat is engineered for direct replacement use in applications that call for a 167-degree thermostat, including select Honda Civic and Honda Accord cooling system service needs where this temperature rating is specified. The offset design and air relief feature support proper coolant flow and easier bleeding during installation, while the copper-and-wax construction is selected for consistent response to coolant temperature changes. If you are replacing a worn thermostat in a Honda Civic or Honda Accord cooling system, Motorad 230-167JV provides a specification-driven replacement option.

This part cross-references Gates 23068 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Engine running hotter than normal due to a thermostat that no longer opens at the correct temperature
• Slow warm-up or unstable coolant temperature control
• Coolant flow issues caused by a sticking thermostat
• Air trapped in the cooling system after service
• Replacement needs for Honda Civic and Honda Accord thermostat service at 167 Deg. F

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the required opening temperature, bypass dimensions, and flange measurements before installation. Inspect the thermostat housing, sealing surfaces, and coolant condition during service. Because a gasket or seal is not included, confirm the correct sealing component is on hand before beginning the job. The jiggle pin weep hole should be oriented to help air escape during filling and bleeding.

Quality Assurance

Manufactured to OEM specifications and processes by an OE supplier, this thermostat is built to meet the material and safety expectations used in factory cooling systems. The Motorad Standard line is positioned for direct-fit cooling system service with OE-style construction and temperature control characteristics.
