Detailed Description

Motorad 7338-195 is an engine coolant thermostat designed for the Lincoln Mark VIII cooling system from 1993 through 1998. The Fail-Safe product line is built to open at 195°F and help maintain coolant flow when the engine reaches operating temperature. Its copper case and wax compound support responsive temperature regulation, while the offset design and air relief valve help match OE-style cooling system requirements where applicable. This part cross-references Four Seasons 73389 for the same application.

Common Cooling System Issues It Can Address

• Engine running too cool or taking too long to reach operating temperature
• Temperature swings caused by a thermostat that opens inconsistently
• Restricted coolant flow from a worn thermostat assembly
• Overheating concerns related to thermostat response at the wrong temperature
• Cooling performance problems on a 1993-1998 Lincoln Mark VIII

Installation Notes and Tips

Compatible With 1993-1998 Lincoln Mark VIII, N/A. Verify the 195°F temperature rating and bypass dimensions before installation. The thermostat uses no gasket or seal included, and no installation tool is included, so confirm the correct sealing components and housing condition during service. Clean the mating surfaces thoroughly and follow the vehicle service procedure for coolant refill and air bleeding.
