Product Details

The Motorad Fail-Safe line is designed for drivers who want a thermostat that follows OE-style cooling system requirements while adding a fail-safe locking feature. Part number 7211-180 is engineered for select Buick Skyhawk and Skylark, Pontiac Grand Am and Fiero, and Chevrolet Citation and Lumina fitments, along with other listed applications. The sealing flange outside diameter measures 1.72 inches, and the flange thickness is 0.068 inch.

This part cross-references Dayco 71180 for the same application. Motorad 7211-180 is a direct-fit thermostat choice for vehicles that require a 180F engine coolant thermostat with seal.

Common Cooling System Issues It Can Address

Engine running hotter than normal due to a thermostat that is stuck closed
Slow warm-up or unstable operating temperature from a worn thermostat
Coolant flow control problems caused by an aging thermostat element
Seal leakage at the thermostat housing interface
Temperature regulation concerns in older GM compact and mid-size vehicles

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the thermostat temperature rating and housing style before installation. Clean the sealing surface thoroughly, inspect the thermostat housing for corrosion or warping, and replace the seal if the old one is damaged. The jiggle pin weep hole is not present on this design, so follow the vehicle service procedure for correct orientation and air bleeding where required.
