Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the 195 degree F temperature rating and compare the sealing flange, bypass dimensions, and flange thickness to the original thermostat before installation. Because no gasket or seal is included, reuse only if the existing seal is serviceable or install the correct replacement seal for the housing. Clean the thermostat housing and mating surfaces thoroughly, and follow the vehicle service procedure for coolant refill and air bleeding to reduce trapped air in the system.
