Motorad Fail-Safe Thermostat 7307-160

The Motorad Fail-Safe engine coolant thermostat is built for precise temperature control in demanding cooling systems. This 160 degree thermostat is designed for direct replacement use on select Chevrolet Camaro, Pontiac Firebird, Corvette, and other GM applications listed below.

Motorad’s Fail-Safe line focuses on OE-style thermal control with a lock-open safety design. The 7307-160 uses OEM-quality materials, a copper case, and wax compound construction to respond quickly to coolant temperature changes.

Key Features

  • Engine coolant thermostat set to 160 degrees F
  • Fail-Safe design locks open if overheating occurs
  • Copper case and wax compound for fast temperature response
  • Includes rubber gasket/seal
  • Jiggle pin weep hole for air bleeding during service
  • Sealing flange outside diameter: 2.13 in
  • Bypass diameter: 1.18 in
  • Bypass length: 1.45 in
  • Flange thickness: 0.068 in

Product Details

This Motorad 7307-160 thermostat is engineered to maintain coolant flow at the specified opening temperature and to provide a fail-open response if the unit is exposed to overheating. That makes it a practical choice for drivers servicing a Chevrolet Camaro thermostat, Pontiac Firebird thermostat, or other listed GM cooling system applications that require a 160F thermostat with seal included. This part cross-references Four Seasons 73076 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

  • Engine running hotter than normal due to a worn thermostat
  • Slow warm-up or unstable coolant temperature control
  • Coolant flow issues caused by a sticking thermostat
  • Air trapped in the cooling system during service
  • Replacement needs for a 160 degree OE-style thermostat

Installation Notes

Verify the thermostat temperature rating, bypass dimensions, and sealing flange size before installation. Replace the rubber seal during service and inspect the housing and mating surfaces for corrosion or debris. The jiggle pin weep hole should be oriented to help purge trapped air during filling. Confirm the application against the vehicle’s cooling system requirements before final assembly.

Quality Assurance

Manufactured to OEM specifications and processes by an OE supplier, this thermostat is built with OEM-quality materials and safety standards for consistent cooling-system service. The Motorad Fail-Safe line is intended for demanding automotive cooling systems and is designed to provide controlled operation under normal conditions and a fail-open response under overheating conditions.
