Detailed Product Description

This engine coolant thermostat housing assembly is engineered with a combination of plastic, stainless steel, and copper to provide durability and corrosion resistance. The included rubber gasket ensures a tight seal between the housing and engine block, preventing coolant leaks. The thermostat opens at 195 degrees Fahrenheit, allowing coolant to flow through the two outlet ports, sized at 1.30 inches and 0.74 inches respectively, to maintain optimal engine temperature. The bleeder hole and jiggle pin facilitate the removal of trapped air, which helps prevent overheating and improves coolant circulation. The housing mounts securely with three bolt holes, though mounting hardware and bolts are not included.

Common Applications and Issues Addressed

• Replacement for faulty or leaking thermostat housings in Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner, Ranger, and Transit Connect
• Resolves engine overheating caused by thermostat failure
• Prevents coolant leaks due to worn or damaged seals
• Improves coolant flow and temperature regulation
• Eliminates air pockets in the cooling system with bleeder hole and jiggle pin

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the engine is cool before beginning installation. Remove the old thermostat housing carefully to avoid damaging surrounding components. Clean the mounting surface thoroughly before installing the new housing and gasket. Align the three bolt holes properly and torque bolts to manufacturer specifications (bolts not included). The bleeder hole and jiggle pin should be positioned to allow air to escape during coolant refilling. No special installation tools are included with this part.
