Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the original thermostat temperature rating and housing style before installation. This unit includes a gasket/seal and uses an O-ring seal type; clean the sealing surfaces thoroughly and inspect the housing for corrosion or damage before assembly. The jiggle pin weep hole and air relief design help with coolant bleeding during installation, but the cooling system should still be filled and bled according to factory service procedures.
