This part cross-references Airtex Fuel Pumps 4206 for the same application. Motorad 340-160 is also referenced by interchange numbers 160-043 and 34060.

What It Helps Address

• Engine running hotter than expected due to a worn thermostat
• Slow warm-up or unstable coolant temperature control
• Coolant flow issues caused by a thermostat that no longer opens correctly
• Service replacement for a leaking or deteriorated thermostat seal
• Cooling system maintenance on alternate-temperature applications

Installation Notes

Verify the 160 degree F temperature specification before installation, since several listed vehicles use alternate temperature options. The included seal is noted for many applications, but some fitments specify that the included seal should be discarded and an additional gasket or seal is required. Confirm housing condition, clean the sealing surfaces, and check coolant level after installation. The jiggle pin weep hole should be positioned to help purge trapped air during service.
